She was referred to an experienced Acupuncturist by her Orthopedic physician and experienced the incredible rapid pain relief and healing ability of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. After this positive experience, Jessica dedicated her career to learning how to help others obtain relief from acute and chronic pain through noninvasive and non-pharmaceutical interventions. Her special interest lies in using acupuncture as a first-line treatment to prevent surgery, or if surgery is necessary, to reduce pain and speed rehabilitation post-operatively and chronic pain conditions.
