“For more than ten years, Jennifer Downs acupuncture has helped me manage periodic fevers. Prior to being treated by Jennifer, I was needing increased medical interventions to manage the symptoms and when I missed a treatment, the symptoms returned. Now I come regularly and have been free of symptoms for a few years.”

“In late 2017, I began treatments with Jennifer Downs for a fractured hip that would eventually need to be surgically replaced. Unfortunately, the doctor who I chose was booked for two months, which meant that I needed to manage the pain until surgery. What got me through those two months (and post-surgery) was the proactive and insightful practice of Jennifer Downs. Her acupuncture training and skills are informed by her earlier experience as a nurse. The relief from the treatments lessened the pain, which resulted in using many fewer pain killers. After six weeks after surgery, I am walking with confidence with minimal pain and discomfort.”
