Dr. Jen is the founder of Healing Points Acupuncture. She is a nationally board-certified and licensed acupuncturist. She received her Master’s in Acupuncture from the American Institute of Alternative Medicine, followed by her Doctorate in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science.
Jen believes that both Western medicine and acupuncture have their place in healthcare and that they both work best when used together as part of an overall health plan. Her goal is to make acupuncture an easy, sensible part of her patients’ lives. She works hard to tailor treatments to each individual so that all of her patients are comfortable with their level of therapy.
ACUPUNCTURE
This treatment involves the use of very fine needles that are inserted in the body at specific points. This process is believed to adjust the body’s fascial alignment and nervous system into healthier patterns. It is used to treat a variety of illnesses and health conditions. For adults and children that wish to avoid needles, our office can provide manual acupressure for their treatment.
CUPPING
A technique in which cups are applied to an individual’s bare skin to treat local musculoskeletal dysfunction or blood stagnation. The cups encourage the flow of blood to the area and allows the release of toxins through the skin. Particularly useful for localized pain, insomnia, asthma and other lung conditions.
ORTHOPEDIC ACUPUNTURE
EAR SEEDS
Using simplified and precise orthopedic testing, we identify which muscle(s) may not be functioning properly and contribute to acute or chronic pain. These muscles are then stimulated using a newer technique called motor point acupuncture, which restores proper function to the entire region of the body.
The ear is considered to be a microsystem - which means that it can treat the entire body! This therapy uses the application of small seeds to the external portion of the ear that corresponds to the area of complaint. Typically 3-5 seeds are taped to each ear during treatment, allowing the patient to keep them applied for several days.
