For nagging and chronic conditions that Western health care has trouble adressing, Tilo Medical gets high marks. Five years ago I went to see Dr. Reid for sore knees caused by figure skating after being told by a sports clinic that they would need to get worse before they could diagnose a problem. At Tilo, I began a series of acupuncture and herbal therapy that solved my knee condition, and surprisingly has uncovered, treated and cured layers of pain and discomfort that I either didn't realize I had, or that I had decided long ago to live with. These include back pain, alergies to food, chronic intestinal pain and sensitivity, headaches, weaknesses in the imune system, and other conditions that are present during maintenance visits. What has been a delight is that Dr. Reid listens and treats according to my life situation, and helps me to understand the underlying reasons for the conditions so that I can help myself, and avoid causing recurring conditions. Dr. Reids active and open discussions of options and alternatives has made health care, well... fun. It should also be mentioned that at Tilo, Aerin Alexanders sessions in body work, which include a blend of the Feldenkrais Method, Bones for Life and a natural talent for healing creates the perfect complement to Dr. Reid.
