From "Karate Kid" to Red Dragon Acupuncture

Keith  graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 1999, studying pre-med, and earning a bachelors degree in Biology.  In 2008 Keith returned to school  and earned his Master's of Oriental Medicine, while simultaneously earning a second Bachelor's in Nutrition, from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine, WI graduating at the top of his class. 

Keith is a State Licensed Acupuncturist and Nationally Board Certified Physician of Chinese Medicine. His interests & specialties include:

auto-immune disorders • dermatology • fibromyalgia • internal medicine chronic pain • sports injuries • musculo-skeletal disorders • digestive complaints • asthma/allergies • headaches • stress, emotional and sleep disorders  • psoriasis • fertility • colds/flus • cancer recovery

Keith’s Journey: At the age of 22 I was diagnosed with “psoriatic arthritis,” an auto-immune condition that behaves similarly to Rheumatoid Arthritis but tends to be much more aggressive.  By the time I was 24 I had to walk with a cane, could not tie my own shoes or button a shirt and was in constant pain.  On top of that I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and IBS, this in addition to the psoriasis and joint pain!!  Western treatments didn’t seem to help and I just kept getting worse.  I was told I would be in a wheel chair by the time I was 30. I needed to find something else.  From my connections within the martial arts community I was urged to try acupuncture.  I did, and after WORKING towards my health with a skilled practitioner of Chinese Medicine I got my life back, in fact I became healthier than I ever was!!  Why, because I found someone who taught me to fish rather than just stuffing them down my throat!!  You health is yours. I can and will give it back to you!!

What Makes Keith different from Other Acupuncturists?

First of all….EXPERIENCE!!!  Personal and professional, I practice what I preach, I have to and I’ve been doing it for 15 years now!  Second is my wide knowledge base and skill set.  Red Dragon provides the most personal and comprehensive approach to your healthcare in Racine!!  Being healthy is a lifestyle and your greatest tool is to be educated so you can make your own decisions, good healthy decisions every day.  I can show you exactly how to do that, and I can help you make it happen.  Red Dragon gives you all your options and helps you discover what will work best for you and your lifestyle!!!! 

In addition to his education at Midwest,  Keith is also a certified Personal Trainer (NASM) specializing in functional fitness and rehabilitation therapy. He also has been training in traditional Martial Arts for over 25 years, beginning his studies when he was 10. Keith has trained with some of the most well known Masters of Korean Martial Arts and has traveled over seas to Korea and Thailand to enhance his training.  Before going to school for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Keith owned a Martial Arts Dojang in Madison, WI and has over 15 years of teaching experience. In addition to teaching Traditional Korean Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong Keith has also run Woman's Self Defense Seminars all over the Midwest. His passion for Eastern Medicine and Martial Arts is not only obvious, it's contagious!!
