ABOUT US AND THE CLINIC
Kristy McKendrick, DACM, MACM, LAc, Dipl. OM (NCCAOM)
Dr. Kristy McKendrick is trained as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and is a Functional Medicine provider, herbalist and nutritionist. She is nationally board-certified and holds a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine as designated by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She is licensed to practice in Texas, Michigan and South Carolina.
​
Her approach to health and natural medicine sees each person as a collective of systems, working together. She doesn’t just treat symptoms, but rather does the work to figure out what are the core issues that need support in order for the body to function optimally. You could say she gets to the root cause, but in most disease or maladaptive health states, there’s more than just one cause or factor.
​
Prior to founding Bliss Integrative Medicine, Dr. McKendrick served on staff at Troy and Royal Oak Beaumont Integrative Medicine Departments. There, she treated many people with Peripheral Neuropathy, Diabetes, Pain, Accident recovery, Hormone and Digestive disorders and even some vary rare genetic disorders causing severe pain and wasting of the bones and muscles.
While Dr. McKendrick treats a wide range of medical conditions, she sees a lot of cases in digestive health, autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders, sports injuries and pain.
