Increased fertility, regulated periods 13 years ago I was 39, trying for a baby. Both my husband and I went to see Jennifer. In 1 visit per week for one month, I knew it worked! I used to have very blotchy periods, long drawn out for average of 1.5 weeks. After treatment, I had a period that was literally 1.5 days! Bright red, start & stop! It was a physiological proof of what I ‘felt’ during the treatments. When the final needle would go to my other leg (she worked from one end to the other of my body), it felt like blood (chi) was flowing rapidly around my body...a circulation! It was always invigorating! I can’t scientifically state that this made me fertile, but I know it had an impact. Not only did my fertility doc say that my husband had the best sperm count he had ever seen, but I also got pregnant, with twins. I am now the mother of 12 year olds! Love, love Jennifer! She has mastery of her skill in a field I’m sure is hard to determine excellence. It works, it’s amazing, but Jennifer is a true, gentle, mindful, intuitive, and loving specialist. Don’t hesitate to book, or look around for anyone else. I’ve been to other practitioners and none compares to her.

compassionate and effective care. My experience as a patient of Jennifer Whiteside has been a very positive one, indeed. Jennifer LISTENS intently and responds with focused, compassionate energy as she applies her acupuncture expertise in treatment. My issues have been head aches and vertigo and the treatments with Jennifer have been very successful. I am most grateful for her help.

Heal Wellnes Center I have been a patient of Jennifer Whiteside for several years and have been very satisfied with the care that I have received. Jennifer is highly qualified and more importantly very caring, supportive and helpful in her treating the patient holistically. I highly recommend the Heal Wellness Center.

Dislocated bones in hand and wrist broken In 2008 I fell and dislocated the bones in my hand and broke my wrist in 5 places which lead to 2 plates and 7 screws. I had nerve damage and numbness in my thumb and 2 fingers. In 3 treatments my pain was gone and numbness was gone too. I'm a true believer!!
Helped me have a healthy baby naturally at 45 I can't recommend Jen highly enough. I first went to her for menstrual issues and back pain, which she helped immensely with. Then, I returned to her last year when I was planning to have a baby. As an older mother, I knew that getting and staying pregnant might be a challenge, so Jen helped with a combination of herbs, supplements, detox, dietary recommendations, and acupuncture. Once my partner and I got our timing right, I got pregnant naturally within 4 months, and just gave birth to a healthy baby. I will always be grateful to Jen for her part in giving me my new family. I HIGHLY recommend her for fertility support, as well as treating menstrual issues and back pain.

Life Changing Treatment Acupuncture has been a life-changing therapy for me. I have been seeing Jennifer for nearly 6 years now. You may wonder why so long. Well, this has been intermittently based upon my symptoms. I first went to Jennifer to the pain and incapacitation associated with cervical and thoracic spinal stenosis. The pain reduction results were shocking--I was in disbelief. I continued treatment for a couple of years and did end up with cervical surgery; but the treatment let me delay surgery as long as possible. I then resumed treatment post operatively to facilitate healing and recovery. The thoracic stenosis continues, I continue treatment based on symptoms--the results are amazing. This is only one facet of my life-change based on acupuncture. The other is the impact acupuncture has on my quality of life in general as I live with MS. Acupuncture is such an added benefit as I had never considered my MS when I first went to see Jennifer for the stenosis. As my stenosis symptoms improved, I noticed that I felt more relaxed, had more energy, and could concentrate better. I shared this with Jennifer, she smiled and told me that acupuncture can have good results with auto immune disease. So, acupuncture impacts my life positively with regard to spinal stenosis, MS and my general feeling of wellness. Jennifer is so expert in her field with such an excellent education on the specialty. Her listening skills, her patient teaching skills and her ability to take what she hears and adjust treatment is "amazing". She stays focused on "me" as the patient. She is a true professional with such excellent credentials and expertise. The skill across acupuncture practitioners can vary. I give Jennifer the 5 star rating as she deserves it. I recommend her to anyone considering this treatment. Acupuncture has been a life-changing therapy for me. I have been seeing Jennifer for nearly 6 years now. You may wonder why so long.

thorough and healing Jennifer's work has helped heal many issues I have had
Wonderful treatment I loved my sessions with Jennifer. She is a consummate professional. She treats the whole person. The experience is so calming and loving.
Really helped arthritic knees and hips Jen is awesome. I started seeing her about 18 months ago because my orthopedist recommended acupuncture for arthritis in my knees. Since I have been seeing her, the arthritis in both my knees and hips has improved dramatically. She also gave me a suggestion that improved gastrointestinal issues that had plagued me for years which Western medicine had only improved somewhat. Jen gets to know her patients and really cares about them. I would, and have, recommend(ed) Jen and acupuncture to anyone! Acupuncture is not a miracle cure, but it is great for ongoing physical issues like arthritis.

Treatment for morning sickness I saw Jennifer to receive treatment for severe, never-ending morning sickness during my second pregnancy. I was so nauseated much of the time that I could barely get out of bed. Much to my surprise, acupuncture worked at least as well as prescription nausea medication, and it was effective for days after the treatment, and there were no side effects (as there are with the medication). Jennifer also treated me for persistent congestion and again the acupuncture worked better than medication.

Highly recommend! I have really enjoyed adding acupuncture to my wellness practice, and choosing Jennifer was a wonderful choice. She approaches each patient as an individual and works on your main concern as well as everything else going on in your life to help restore wellness and calmness. She is very thoughtful and caring. I would highly recommend adding acupuncture, and specifically Jennifer, to your routine. Your health and wellbeing is so worth it!
Very satisfied I had seen Jennifer in the past when she was at AGH. I was quite pleased to learn that she was now located in Squirrel Hill, much more convenient to me. The fact that I sought her out answers all the questions. I was very pleased, the new offices are very comfortable and convenient and she has helped me through painful symptoms before and just recently.
