Pain Management

Acupuncture gives immediate relief to acute & chronic pain by opening pathways of energy in the body allowing increased range of motion while blocking pain signals to the brain. It's a great alternative to pain medication and when combined with movement therapy can often reverse a chronic state of pain.


What To Expect From Your First Appointment

On your first appointment Jennifer will ask for a detailed history of your acute or chronic pain. She will then assess tissue damage through range of motion tests and palpation. Jennifer will not only treat the source of the pain but will also correct compensations patterns that form from living with an injury. Her goal is not only to relieve pain but also prevent its return. As part of your treatment plan one can expect, in addition to acupuncture, electrical stimulation, massage, infrared, and exercise therapy.
