Using the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we use Acupuncture & Herbs to help patients reduce symptoms as simply and naturally as possible in our downtown Chattanooga treatment space. With the tools of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Jes Dwyer, LAc, can affect positive change in the body without the use of pharmaceuticals or surgery.
These tools and techniques allow us to stimulate and support the body's own natural healing processes to relieve chronic symptoms, speed up recovery, and increase the overall quality of life.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices include Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Adjunctive Therapies such as Cupping, Tui Na, Gua Sha, etc. Acupuncture & Herbal Therapy are very safe and natural.
Don't worry, it doesn't hurt! And a well trained practioner is able to work with pregnancy, medications, and other therapies to support the goals of the patient in an integrative approach. Dr. Jes Dwyer, LAc, has trained in an exclusive internship at 301 Hospital in Beijing, a top Chinese hospital.

While not all acupuncturists practice exactly the same, generally you are going to keep the following in mind.
First, if you were given the New Patient Paperwork, be sure to fill it out to the best of your ability.
Typically, this will include your contact information, chief complaint, list of current medications, and your medical history.
If you are seeking treatment for something that you've had any labs or imaging done on, please bring copies of the reports in with you.
While Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on practices 1000's of years old, many practitioners will incorporate present day testing into their evaluations.

1. Follow the treatment plan you discussed with your Acupuncturist (even if it contradicts the rest of this article).
2. No unnecessary exercise for the rest of the day.
Let your body focus on healing.
3. Drink lots of water (just like after a massage, things are moving).
IMPORTANT: Any medications you are taking should not be reduced / discontinued without first consulting the prescribing physician and the Acu Chatt practitioner.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we almost always will recommend heat therapy for aches and pains.
