Callan Welder, L.Ac. MAOM
Bringing Chinese Medicine back to my home town of Marshall is a dream come true. I went to Walnut Elementary School for K-8 and graduated from Madison High School in 1996. I have a 4 year Masters Degree in Classical Chinese Medicine from Daoist Traditions College in Asheville, NC. I am certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology, as well as Massage Therapy.
After spending 6 years in the Pacific Northwest as an avid skier, ski patroller, outdoorsman and carpenter, I decided to move home with my wife to the most beautiful mountains I know. I was brought back to health with acupuncture and massage after compressing two vertebrae in my back from a serious ski accident in Montana. I immediately knew that this was my path.
I have experience treating a wide range of disorders and have a particular interest in pain management, digestive disorders, anxiety, depression and nutritional counseling. I also have a passion for Qi Gong and Tai Ji and love integrating these healing arts into my work with patients.

Acupuncture and Herbal Treatments
"I had bad allergy symptoms (e.g., middle of the night coughing and wheezing). I went to see Callan. His treatment protocol of acupuncture and herbs worked well for me after a series of appointments (i.e. produced beneficial effects in the form of the relief of my symptoms). Callan is a good practitioner, knowledgeable, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone wanting acupuncture and or herbal treatments."

A Transformative and Healing Experience.
"Callan, a natural healer with a calm, patient & reassuring presence, has been thoughtful, intuitive & generous with his treatments. He's relieved my initial pain & we've moved on to treat deeper, more chronic issues with great success. His nutritional counseling has resulted in improved mood, energy & almost effortless weight loss. His massage svcs are exceptionally thorough & professional as well. The experience is always soothing & uplifting. I'm tremendously grateful for all of Callan's help."

Thank you Marshall Acupuncture Clinic for effective relief
I don’t pretend to understand what Chinese medicine is all about, but I can’t argue with success. In Western medicine, when a body part hurts, a drug is prescribed to dull the pain, but the source of the pain remains. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a way to get rid of the source of the pain. Something about opening up blocked channels. While I don’t understand it with my Western mind, I know that after two acupuncture treatments the soreness in two different part of my body was GONE. And the next morning the soreness was still gone. No drugs! Just a few tiny needles tenderly applied and a lovely time of deep, total relaxation while the needles did their work... whatever that was.

Amazing Results
I've been suffering from a hole in my ear drum, loss of hearing and recurring painful ear infections for the past 11 months. After frequent visits over months to an ENT provided no relief, I visited Callan. The relief was almost immediate. After 6 sessions, the hole in my ear drum is gone and I can finally hear well again. I was scheduled to have an expensive surgery this week but was able to cancel it. Callan's calm presence and intuitive touch were so reassuring. I am eternally grateful!
