About Kevin Menard, LAc
Kevin Menard is a New York State licensed acupuncturist and certified Sports Medicine Acupuncturist®, based in Sag Harbor, NY. He founded Menard Acupuncture in 2012 with a focus on helping people recover from injury, manage pain, and return to the activities that give their lives meaning.
Kevin specializes in Sports Medicine Acupuncture®, a clinical approach designed to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and performance-related conditions. His work blends Modern Chinese Medical Acupuncture with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Trigger Point Acupuncture, Japanese Meridian styles, and advanced intramuscular needling techniques (“Dry Needling”) when appropriate. This allows him to work effectively with both acute injuries and long-standing patterns that limit movement, recovery, and resilience.
Kevin is a graduate of Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York. His ongoing study of Chinese medicine extends well beyond the clinic and into daily practice. He actively trains in Qigong and Kung Fu–style internal arts, including Dong-style Tai Chi and Bagua Zhang. These practices strengthen his own health, body awareness, and resilience, while deepening his understanding of movement, structure, breath, and energy—principles that directly inform how he works with patients in a clinical setting.
Outside the treatment room, Kevin is committed to service and education. He volunteers time working with local teens and young adults to address stress and anxiety, and he has participated in medical outreach efforts in remote regions of Guatemala with The Global Healthworks Foundation.
Kevin is the founder and CEO of Dragon Hemp Apothecary, a practitioner-founded apothecary based in Sag Harbor, NY. Dragon Hemp was born from Kevin’s clinical experience and his desire to offer patients effective plant-based options beyond the treatment table. The apothecary features proprietary formulations that unite time-honored herbal traditions with carefully sourced, next-generation cannabinoid extracts. Each product is designed to provide meaningful relief while also addressing underlying patterns of imbalance, so people can truly feel like themselves again.
Building on this work, Kevin is currently developing Toad Elemental, a new product line focused on daily-use functional wellness. Toad Elemental brings together functional mushrooms, Chinese medicinal herbs, and modern nutritional compounds in thoughtfully designed formulations. The goal is to create practitioner-formulated products that support real-life demands while honoring the depth and intelligence of traditional medicine.
Kevin’s work continues to evolve through collaboration with regional growers, ongoing study, and hands-on teaching. Whether in the clinic, the apothecary, or through movement and meditation practices, his approach remains consistent: thoughtful care, practical results, and deep respect for the body’s ability to heal when given the right conditions.
