Ross Acupuncture

I went to Jennifer with a prolonged case (8 months+) of muscle tension & shoulder/​neck pain that was unresponsive to massage, physical therapy, cortisone injections etc. An acupuncture virgin, I admit I was skeptical prior to my first session. This was completely unsubstantiated as in days following my first session my pain was at an all time low– a feeling which has continued into week 2. Proud to say I’m now a believer! Endless gratitude to Jennifer who is not only thorough and professional, but a true master of her craft.

This is a little overdue — after some work on my psoas, I can dance and walk without any pain in my hip. This is such a relief because I was worried it would become a lifelong problem. Thank you.

Jen is absolutely fantastic! She is a sweetheart and truly takes care of you. You will leave feeling amazing. Her cupping session is like no other… I highly recommend you book with her. Nothing but great things to say. Your body will thank you!

Jen has been very helpful in managing pain associated with an L4−5 disc bulge and unstable sacrum. She is also very skilled with herbs and has help me clear out several head colds in no time. I would highly recommend her to friends and I always feel better when I leave her office.

Jen in amazing! I’m so excited that she has a practice in Oakland. While I would gladly travel anywhere in the Bay to get a treatment from her, I just love going to see her at the Working Body.
I’m super active, and now at an age where aches and pains are more common with my lifestyle. However, Jen fixes them all! Any time I have even the slightest twinge of knee pain from running or other activity, I get a session with Jen and it’s gone within days. She has an incredible knowledge of health and body work, and I’m just so excited to have her on my health care team!

15 minutes of work after a softball game and I can feel the results already. Can’t imagine how good my shoulder would feel after a full session! Will be booking an appointment soon

Ross Acupuncture was my first experience with acupuncture and Jen was absolutely incredible in answering all of my questions and putting me at ease. I was expecting a much more medical feel, but when you walk in, there is a calming feeling that washes over you. The sounds are tranquilizing, the warmth is great, and the general comfort is extraordinary. When you’re done it feels like a burden has been lifted from your shoulders and you’re walking on clouds. I’m glad I found this clinic and would recommend it to all of my friends and family.

I suffered a dibilitating back injury (herniated disc) earlier this year, and was immobile for several weeks. Jen and my other treaters were so instrumental in my recovery — treating my injury and also giving me a reason to smile when I was struggling. I always left treatment feeling better than I had walking in. Jen had a wholistic approach — providing acupuncture for my disc and sciatic pain, as well as herbs, massage and nutritional advice to enable quick but sustainable healing. In short, she treated my body and my spirit. I highly recommend her.

Jennifer has been treating me for sciatic nerve issues on both sides and her treatments have been an essential part of my recovery. I am a distance runner and was training for the Boston Marathon when the sciatic nerve on my left side became aggravated. Since I couldn’t stop running Jennifer took a multi pronged approach to manage the discomfort and keep me running. She really cares about keeping you moving and getting you pain free. I trust her implicitly with any treatment she advises because everything she has done for me has helped immensely.

Jen is so great, you guys. I am a 35 year old woman who gets acupuncture once a week to complement western medical treatments for a women’s condition — this may ring a bell for some of you, ha, but I’m not putting it out there on Unilocal!Jen’s regimen includes needle placement, herbal medication, cupping, and helpful dietary tips. She is an expert in all of those modes of treatment. I feel confident about that claim because she is perfectly happy to field my many (sometimes admittedly silly) questions with detailed, knowledgable responses. And since starting acupuncture my condition has improved in ways that I did not think were possible — I have no doubt Jen’s skills are the reason.
Plus, Jen is just a lovely person. Feeling like your body is broken in some way can be crazy stressful, and I feel pretty lucky to have found help from someone that makes me feel comfortable. Jen will listen to you, remember details, and put you at ease. Although she is very professional, acupuncture sessions with Jen feel like I’m just hanging out with a buddy — one that is going to stick me several times with sharp objects — but a buddy nonetheless. She makes me laugh while making me healthier — I like that.
The time I’ve spent dealing with this medical crap has not been the most fun of my life — but Jen has been a really bright spot. I leave sessions with her feeling positive, relaxed, and hopeful. I don’t think I can endorse her more highly. Go see Jen!

Jen is an excellent practitioner, very well educated and super easy to talk to. Her herbal knowledge is truly superb, and I consider her an expert on pain management. I trust Jen with my health, and you should, too!

Jennifer Ross is everything, EVERYTHING! I’ve been seeing her for several months and my gimp shoulder has never felt better! I had to cancel an appt once, pushing my treatment out farther than I wanted and boy could I tell a difference. That’ll never happen again. Jennifer’s bedside manner also keeps me coming back. She’s warm, friendly and her sense of humor matches mine, therefore, making the fact that she’s sticking needles in my body almost enjoyable. Sometimes she does light massage or even cupping, at no additional charge. You can also tell she really cares as she asks about and remembers little facts about your life. To top it all off, she takes my insurance. Do yourself a favor and see Jennifer Ross for your acupuncture needs, you won’t be disappointed.

Jenn Ross is awesome! I can come to her with any kind of issue, and she always has a great sense of how to proceed. She works closely with me to determine how the treatment is working, and she will continue to adjust the treatment as necessary. She is a great teacher when it comes to helping me understand what is happening and my options for treatment, and she is incredibly skilled with putting in needles. I always feel very cared and attended to when working with Jenn. She also creates the best herbal treatments I’ve ever had — and I’ve had many! Jenn’s taste amazing, are easy to take, and have helped me recover from numerous colds and flus, as well as deal with a variety of women’s issues. I highly recommend Jenn for whatever you are dealing with!

I really enjoyed sessions with Jennifer Ross. She has a kind and easygoing manner and deeply listens to her clients. I came in in the fall of 2014 with knee pain and flexibility issues and after a few months of work my knees feel so much better. She used needles as well moxa. She also helped me with some insomnia and anxiety issues. She is an excellent practitioner.

Jen Ross is a fabulous practitioner!
First and foremost, she totally knows her stuff. I have seen remarkable results with pain, insomnia, stress, fertility, pregnancy-​related symptoms. And although I always get an acupuncture treatment, her herb prescriptions and dietary recommendations are so helpful. It’s just the whole package.
And the icing on the cake is that she is lovely– a real sweetheart.

I make sure to see Jen before every half marathon I run in [about 7 a year]. We are able to fit in acupuncture, cupping, and a bit of massage in 90 minutes. That night and the following day my body feels so much better. I recover quicker after the races, and I am 100% sure my times are better because of the work she does. I would recommend these pre-​race treatments to anybody.

Jen Ross has made my recover from 2 foot surgeries better than my traditional medical practitioners. Physical therapy was not able to advance my recovery but acupuncture DID. I cannot recommend Jen more highly.

Jen was incredibly adept at assessing and responding to whatever I needed. Although, I originally went for back and joint pain I could also count on her to attend to seasonal allergies, a cold, or other ailments and she was able to treat me and prescribe me herbs.
I should also mention that I received regular acupuncture in China for the three years I lived there and I am an experienced patient. I was very impressed by Jen’s abilities and breadth of knowledge. She also has a very good bedside manner and I always left with a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

I receive regular acupuncture treatments and raw herb therapy here. Jennifer Ross is my practitioner, she is exceptionally skilled, thorough and friendly. My appointments address a chronic issue as well as the occasional cold or flu-​like illness. A Rheumatologist advised that I should consider surgical removal of a painful calcium deposit that I had endured for several years — Jennifer needled it, now I barely recall which thumb it was on. When something is amiss medically I see Jennifer first and consider an MD afterwards that is if it is still necessary.
