June of last year, I found myself in so much pain I was bedridden for three weeks. I also suffered from headaches, dizziness, foggy brain,and sinus issues. My life just came to a screeching halt. I went to see my primary care physician and the "western medicine merry- go- round "began. I saw specialists who would refer me to another. After months of no answers or relief, I was back where I started with my primary care physician who said this to me, "You are a healthy woman for your age and you just need to stop thinking there is something wrong with you". I was devastated, humiliated and angry and thought to myself "come live in my body for a day and then tell me that once more" At that moment I took control of my path and searched for an alternative. I found Behan Crawford. Brehan listened and heard me. He examined me and recommended a treatment. I began acupuncture treatments and his prescribed Chinese herbal mixtures . Within 4 days I was relatively pain free, the brain fog was lifting, headaches diminished and my energy was returning! It felt like a miracle! After suffering for 10 months, I was on the road to recovery. I still had flairs in my neck and shoulders but less often ,less intense and for a shorter period of time. Together we have figured out what works and does not work. He is always patient and kind, informative and continues to amaze me with his knowledge. Today, I am once again the active and happy person I was...
Read moreI love this place! I have been a patient of Dr. Brehen’s since July of 2017. As a Chronic Lyme patient that deals with a wide array of complex issues, I have been under the care of numerous doctors and healers the last 5 years. Dr. Brehen is up there with the best of the best —-this community is very fortunate to have a doctor of his brilliance and training. I fully believe he is the best of the best of LAc’s. Dr. Brehen has a wonderful bedside manner being very easy to talk to and be “real” with and will take the extra time to answer your questions. (And even laugh with you). I always feel understood. Over the last 18 months, the clinic has evolved to become a full scale healing center. Here, you can recieve not only the detailed care of a great doctor, but there is a Tibetan Footbath Center and a fabulous Yoga Studio. Also, Jocelyn, Dr. Brehen’s wife teaches state of the art rope wall yoga. She is very good. I have been able to participate in all the services offered here and all has played an integral part in maintaining my health and working towards full recovery. And, what also must be mentioned is the wonderfully helpful, caring staff ——Hope and Sophie create a welcoming, pleasant place to be from the second you step in the door. Truth is, sometimes I don’t want to leave. I will remain a patient here as long as they will put...
Read moreI am traveling from AZ to McMinnville OR to get out of the heat for a few weeks. We have several legs of a long trip planned with the first stop in McMinnville. I have had very back neck and shoulder pain the past few weeks heading into the trip and I knew that I needed to feel better to keep up with my family which includes 10 year old and 2 year old girls and a wife that wants to get a lot done on this trip.
Brehan was right down the road from where I was staying and I read that he had gotten some great reviews and those reviews were on point! I have gone three times to Brehan and I am feeling MUCH better. I was not a big believer in acupuncture coming into it and had it done several years ago but it had done nothing for me.
I knew I had to get in front of my pain and discomfort so I did just that and I am thrilled that I did. I truly feel a lot better. Overall I have some more to work on to get my body back to where I want it to be but I am now on my way and I will be back to see Brehan next summer when we...
