Combine with Physical Therapy

Acupuncture and PT are a powerful combination. We coordinate your acupuncture plan with your PT program — delivering synergistic pain relief and accelerated healing.

Why It Matters

Acupuncture is a clinically validated therapy for pain relief, stress reduction, and healing support.

Thin, sterile needles placed at specific anatomical points stimulate the body's natural healing response — reducing pain, inflammation, and stress through mechanisms that complement your physical therapy program.

Conditions Treated

Conditions treated.

With a background spanning oncology support to musculoskeletal pain, Jamie brings remarkable breadth and compassion to every patient.

Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain

Some of the most common and well-studied applications of acupuncture — with strong clinical evidence for pain relief.

Knee Pain & Osteoarthritis

Acupuncture reduces inflammation and pain in arthritic joints.

Headaches & Migraines

Regular acupuncture reduces both the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.

Insomnia

Acupuncture calms the nervous system and improves sleep quality and duration for chronic insomnia sufferers.

Chemotherapy Side Effects

Jamie completed a clinical rotation at Providence Cancer Institute — bringing specialized training in supporting oncology patients through treatment.

Stress & Anxiety

Acupuncture regulates the nervous system's stress response — providing measurable relief for anxiety and stress-related symptoms.

Our Process

Personalized acupuncture for lasting results.

1

Initial Consultation & Assessment

Jamie reviews your health history, current concerns, medications, and goals — identifying the approach most appropriate for your condition.

2

First Treatment Session

Your first session includes a full intake, assessment, and initial treatment — giving your body its first healing stimulus and establishing a baseline.

3

Treatment Plan & Progress

Most conditions respond best to a series of treatments. Jamie builds a clear plan, tracks your progress, and adjusts as your response guides the therapy.

4

Integration with PT

If you're also seeing a physical therapist, we coordinate your care to ensure your treatments work together for the best results.
