David Lee Krofcheck, OMD, DAc, BA, LAc(Calif)

As a result of receiving acupuncture treatment for his diabetes, David Krofcheck’s interest was first sparked. He graduated from California State University Northridge with honors in 1981. His interest in research led him to work 1 year as a research assistant (for Friends of Medical Research) at the Sepulveda V.A. Hospital Drug Dependence Treatment Center. He then began his acupuncture training at the California Acupuncture College, Los Angeles campus (records now kept at SAMRA University). He finished his internship at the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing China and received his diploma in 1984.

He went on to complete an electronics program at Future Technical Institute of Westlake Village, California. After passing the California Acupuncture Board exams, he completed the doctorate program in Oriental Medicine. He used his electrical knowledge to help reveal the electrical aspects of healing involved in acupuncture with his dissertation, “Bioelectricity and Acupuncture”.

In October 1989, he moved to Michigan to practice with a classmate. In October 1991 he bought the practice, Health and Energy, P.C.  Today the practice has grown to employ five part-time staff and utilize two acupuncturists with clinics in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo.

In May of 1999 he participated in the Honduras Healing Relief Project. This was the first team (in this hemisphere) to offer acupuncture and natural medicine in a medical relief setting. Over 700 treatments were provided. Also, thirty-seven public health care workers were trained to perform the NADA auricular protocol to carry on the treatment of post-traumatic stress victims after the team left.

Dr. Krofcheck’s advanced training includes: Nambrudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) Basic and Advanced courses. CranioSacral Therapy, National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) certification, Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA), Somato-Auricular Therapy and Koryo-Hand Therapy. The treatment modalities at his clinics include: acupuncture, moxibustion, herbology, nutrition, homeopathy, and craniosacral therapy.

He has lectured extensively on acupuncture at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kellogg Community College, Sienna Heights College, a continuing education class for dental hygienists, Coldwater Hospital (interns) and the Battle Creek V.A. Medical Center.
