Dallas Acupuncturist: Meet Dr Ellee Carlson

Dr Carlson believes that true wellness is not simply the lack of disease, but the ability to truly thrive with a peaceful mind and a pain-free body. She has treated many patients at our Dallas acupuncture clinic with a variety of ailments from back pain to infertility.  She uses acupuncture to tap into the body’s own ability to heal itself so they may experience full, more joyous lives.

Dr Carlson has been drawn to medicine since she was a child and had always intended on pursuing a career in health care. As she was completing her Bachelor of Science degree in Integrative Biology from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, she contemplated which branch of conventional Western medicine she might pursue.  In her pursuit of finding the best fit for her future career, she came across a graduate program offering Traditional Chinese Medicine. The concept of a holistic health approach that fosters a sense of balance with a deeper connection to ultimate body, mind, and emotional wellness is something that truly resonated with her.

Dr Carlson is a licensed acupuncturist in Texas certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese herbology by the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She holds a Doctorate of Science and Traditional Oriental Medicine degree from the accredited Pacific College of Health and Science – one of the premier acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine programs in the country. This program is a four-year graduate program with 3525 credit hours of theory and clinical practice, and includes both eastern and allopathic training.  She was appointed by Governor Abbott to the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners which has licensing and rule making responsibilities for state acupuncturists.
