There's a Trigger Point for That!

Patients will often mention other issues they don't think are related to their muscles, to which I will usually respond, "there's a trigger point for that!" 

Trigger point therapy not only relieves pain, but a host of other symptoms. In my practice, in addition to chronic pain, I've successfully treated neuropathy, heart arrhythmia, heartburn, carpal tunnel syndrome, urinary frequency or incontinence, breathing difficulties, vertigo, head fog, watery eyes, bags under the eyes, bunions, gout, nausea, tinnitus, and bursitis just to name a few.

So don't hold back, you might be pleasantly surprised to find there's a trigger point solution to more than just your pain!

Very professional assessment!!!
by Abby on Oct 24
Jen has provided the most knowledgeable assessment of not only the source of my pain, but she has also gone above and beyond to educate me on my alignment. I learned so much in just my first session with her. She was great to work with and she eliminated my pain. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!!

Jen is exceptionally talented in finding the correct trigger points and treating pain from its roots. I had tried physical therapy for many weeks with no benefit before taking her therapy sessions and was glad to see my pain go away for good.
