Case: Brenda, 31-year-old female
Chief Complaint: Fertility/Menstrual Cycles
"My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for several months. My cycles were irregular (31-35 days) with spotting in
between. My doctor wanted to put me on Clomid if I didn’t get pregnant in the next few months so I wanted to give acupuncture
a try first, especially since I had such good luck with it treating a couple of acute injuries (sprains) in the past. Jennifer
has a lot of experience in this area and is wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgeable as to what points to focus on
pre and post ovulation. She does a great job communicating all of your options and why they are important, as well as focusing
on the big picture.
Long story short, my cycle shortened to 26 days the first month and evened out to 28 days after that. Most importantly I was
pregnant after 3 months! I continued to see her once a month throughout my pregnancy. My pregnancy was a breeze and we were
blessed with a healthy, beautiful daughter. I definitely feel that Jennifer and my acupuncture treatments helped us achieve
this and am so thankful I did not have to go through the time, expense, and side effects with medication. I have and will continue to happily recommend Jennifer to anyone who is having difficulty achieving pregnancy."
Case: Michele, 34 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Infertility
"We had gone through several years of infertility
treatments and had finally got pregnant with our
first child through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) along
with acupuncture. When we were ready to have
our second child, we again attempted IVF, this
time and the next without acupuncture. Both of
these IVF cycles were unsuccessful. We decided
we would give IVF one more try, but this time
along with acupuncture. After some searching, I
found Jennifer Winer and filled her in on my situation.
After meeting with Jennifer, she determined an acupuncture
treatment for me to follow along with my IVF. I started
out with Jennifer before my IVF cycle and continued
throughout the cycle, and when it was all through, we
had success and were pregnant with our second child!!
We were blessed with a easy pregnancy and a healthy
baby boy! I believe that my treatment with Jennifer
greatly contributed to our success in getting pregnant!
Jennifer was always very thorough in explaining each
treatment to me and offered additional information and
options I could do on my own such as food changes, etc.
She was always caring and sensitive to my
situation. Thank you Jennifer!

Case: Alexa, 33 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Infertility
"I decided to seek acupuncture when my
husband and I found ourselves unable to
get pregnant after a year of trying. I had
heard fantastic things about it in terms of
fertility as well as overall health benefits.
I chose Jennifer because she had experience
in the areas I was looking for help in and
immediately felt comfortable with her. Her
genuine concern, optimism, excitement and
insight helped to make a trying time that much
better. Shortly after I began seeing her, I felt
calmer and more in tune with my body. I got
pregnant relatively quickly after I started
seeing her...although it did end in a loss.
When I began working with her again, we
had renewed hope and I became pregnant
again this past summer. I am now almost 16
weeks along and this pregnancy has been
so easy! I must say that I believe part of the
credit goes to what I learned from Jennifer and
acupuncture. I recommend her highly and
without reservation."
Case: Scott, 18 year-old male
Chief Complaint: Acne and warts
"I had been suffering warts on my right foot big
toe for at least 6 months, and it was so bad they'd
spread to my next toe as well. They were very
painful and ugly and kept me from doing activities
that I enjoy because of how painful they were. I
tried over-the-counter wart removers, and even went
to a dermatologist who was amazed at how many
warts there were on that small of an area, but really
didn't have anything to offer me to fix the problem.
My mom asked if I'd be interested in trying acupuncture
with Jennifer, and I said "OK!" "I'll try anything these
are so uncomfortable!" I started with Jennifer in
December, and after 3 treatments and herbs, I could
see that all the warts were starting to get black dots in
the centers. Within 4 weeks, half the warts were gone,
and within 6 weeks, they were all gone. I also asked
Jennifer to help with my acne which had really gotten
bad over the prior year. I'd tried over-the-counter
medicines for this as well, and went to a dermatologist
who suggested antibiotics (no, thank you!). Within 2
weeks my acne was much improved, and within 6 weeks,
I had only a few pimples, but nothing like the acne I'd
suffered prior to seeing Jennifer. As a nice side-effect,
I've got lots more energy since seeing Jennifer, and am
not at all fatigued the way I had been prior to seeing her."
Case: Daniel, 20 year-old male
Chief Complaint: Stomach flu
"I started feeling bad at 2:30am and was vomiting every
hour on the hour from that point. I called my mom to
please pick me up, and she made an appointment with
Jennifer that afternoon. I couldn't keep anything down,
not even water. I threw up twice on the way home and
on the way to her office, but once I had my treatment, I
felt 80% better just walking out of the office, and an hour
later I was drinking water and eating toast with no trouble.
I felt so much better, it was amazing!"
Case: Monte, 10 year-old male
Chief Complaint: Strep throat
"Last year I had strep throat about five times within 5 to 6
months. It never went away. We couldn't figure out
why I kept getting it. My mom asked me if I wanted
to go to see Jennifer Winer, her acupuncturist. I was
kind of scared of the needles. I thought they would hurt
really bad (like a shot). The first time I went I found out
the needles weren't so bad. After I went for a few times
I realized that I was feeling better. I haven't had strep
throat for almost a whole year. Jennifer also helped reduce
the heat in my body. I was always very hot. I always had
to wear a t-shirt or I would start to sweat. Plus - Jennifer
is very nice and understanding."
Case: Julie, 41 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Hypothyroidism
"I started seeing Jennifer for my hypothyroidism. My
goal is to be able to reduce or stop taking my thyroid
medication. Jennifer has helped to reduce the quantity
of my medicine. She has helped with many of my
symptoms that I deal with from hypothyroidism. I was
always hot and had little or no energy. She has helped
with these and many other problems in my body. I
would recommend her to everyone."
Case: Rita, 55 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Chronic headaches, arthritis in thumb joints, and fibromyalgia
"My headaches, arthritis, and fibromyalgia hindered
my ability to do Pastel Art and Acrylic Painting that
I love so much. I was not getting any better using
traditional medicine. Jennifer Winer offered an
alternative treatment with acupuncture. I am happy
to say I am free of migraines, and have full use of
my thumbs without having to use medication or
cortisone shots. My fibromyalgia symptoms are
easier to deal with minus the migraines. Thanks to
Jennifer Winer, I have more energy and am able to
resume my "Natures Critters" Pet Portraits etc. that
I love so much."
Case: Jane, 50 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Low back pain
"Less than two weeks before a very special
birthday trip to Hawaii, I aggravated an old
back injury by rotating my mattress.
Within a few hours I could not walk upright.
I was very concerned about feeling well
enough to endure an eight-hour flight, and
being able to walk when I landed.
Jennifer treated me two times in the 10
days before my trip, with acupuncture
and tuina. I immediately experienced a
feeling of stability, then one day of what I
would describe as soreness, and then I was
as good as new. As a precaution, I went to
the doctor and got a prescription for Flexeril
and Tylenol #3. I took one Flexeril before I
boarded the plane and never used another
dose again. Six months later, the low back
pain returned. I saw Jennifer the same day
and she treated me with the method as last
time. As before, my stability returned
immediately, the pain disappeared, and after
one day of soreness I was back to normal.
I highly recommend acupuncture and oriental
medicine for acute pain episodes before they
become a chronic problem and affect your
daily routine."
Case: Jessi, 20 year-old female
Chief complaint: sinus pain/common cold symptoms
Occupation: Massage Therapist
"For the last two weeks, I have had cold symptoms
such as sore throat, stuffy head, and sinus pain.
I have also had left and right shoulder pain at
onset of the cold symptoms. My cold symptoms
subsided within one day of having one acupuncture
treatment from Jennifer. The left and right
shoulder pain also subsided. I feel I have more
energy now to help others feel better too."
Case: Megan, 25 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Acne
"After being treated by a dermatologist
for acne, I realized I didn't want to be chained to antibiotics for the rest of my
life. Jennifer Winer offered an alternative,
more natural treatment to taking prescriptions
that I felt were unnecessary. Not only did I
have clearer skin with the treatment, but as I
learned through Jennifer, I was also eliminating
excess heat in my body, getting more energy and
sleeping better. I would recommend
her treatments to anyone looking for a choice
in treating acne that doesn't involve dependence
on medication."
Case: Pavels, 25 year-old male
Chief Complaint: Nicotine dependence
" I've been smoking since I was 17 and now I
am 25, so it s been a good eight years. Now
I have quit with no cravings and no regrets
thanks to acupuncture from Jennifer. The whole
process was really easy. Two sessions of
acupuncture, three weeks with ear seeds in
and the nicotine addiction went away. One day
I was smoking with my co-workers, two days
later I couldn't stand the smell and almost
vomited. I turned green and begged my
co-workers to stop smoking. Just like that.
I went from being a heavy smoker who smoked
up to two packs a day to not wanting a cigarette
I have tried many different ways to quit
smoking in the past such as nicotine patches,
nicotine gum, and other traditional methods, but
acupuncture really worked and got rid of the
cravings. I was nervous about the idea of
having needles put into my body, but Jennifer
made me very comfortable and the treatment
was pretty much painless and absolutely worth it."
Case: Andrea, 45 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Recovery from Accident
"After suffering from a severe fall, I was
feeling pain from my head down to my toes.
I suffered from a stiff neck, bruised tailbone
and a sprained back. I didn't like the feeling
of the pain medication I was given and was
searching for relief. Treatments with Jennifer
provided reduced swelling, soreness and stiffness.
After my treatment, I felt like I was able to move
and bend more freely like the healing process
had begun. I would not hesitate to recommend
Jennifer Winer as a highly knowledgeable and
caring acupuncturist."
Case: Rebecca, 59 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Raynaud's phenomenon
"I have been plagued with Raynaud's for years.
As soon as the temperature outside gets close
to freezing, going outside is a real pain! Large
sections of my fingers and toes lose circulation,
turn white and become numb. This occurs even
while wearing gloves or mittens and boots. When
the circulation returns, the fingers are blue, then
red and somewhat painful. My husband always
calls it "dead man skin!" I have learned biofeedback
and relaxation which help some, but not completely.
This fall it was the worst it has ever been. I could
not walk to the mailbox, drive a short distance to
work or the store - much less think about being
outside for any length of time. After the first
acupuncture treatment with Jennifer and some
Chinese herbs - I have not had ANY trouble - not
a single episode! I had 4 treatments in total.
Jennifer has also helped me with low back pain and
post-menopausal night sweats. It may be cheaper
and easier than moving to Costa Rica!"
Case: Darlene, 62 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Auto accident injury
"I started seeing Jennifer shortly after being in
a car accident. We started with cupping and
Tui Na to decrease the muscle pain in my shoulders
and back. It was the best thing I could have done!
It was wonderful! With each treatment, it felt like
a faucet was turned on and the pain and stress
flowed out. I have been getting better each time
I see Jennifer. I would recommend cupping and
Tui Na for anyone with muscle pain/strain and stress
to get you back into your daily routine with less
pain."
Case: Pam, 58 year-old female
Chief Complaint: Leg pain and numbness in foot
"I experienced sciatica and severe leg pain in
both my thigh and calf. My chiropractor was
able to relieve the sciatica pain in my lower back
and hip, but I continued to have severe pain down
my leg and numbness in my foot. It was very
debilitating and made it nearly impossible for
me to walk very far. I am an avid walker, so
this was especially difficult for me. Jennifer
treated me with acupuncture and Tui Na. I could
tell a difference almost immediately. After
three treatments, over a two week period,
I was back walking pain-free (and soon up to
several miles a day). Jennifer is very knowledgeable
and has since treated me for lung congestion from
a cold, and stress, and the results were immediate.
I am definitely sold on acupuncture as a natural
alternative means of treatment."
