Acupuncture & China Medical

Have been seeing Jenny for years. I have experienced many acupuncturists. She is my favorite. Jenny is detail oriented with great manners. My body feels much better after a visit with Jenny.

Eureka! I have finally found a great acupuncturist south of the Hayward Bridge. The most important thing about Jenny’s (Zhenyu Qiu) acupuncture is that she’s not just an acupuncturist, she is a healer who cares.
I’ve been getting acupuncture, off and on, for over 30 years, ever since I stumbled across one when I lived next to Chinatown in San Francisco. I’ve been seeing Jenny for about five years @ a spa place. Now she’s striking out on her own with a new office in Mountain View.
I always felt better when I left an appointment with Jenny. Her needles are painless & she is not of the school that says «no pain no gain.» She works with me for the full hour or longer if she thinks there’s something else she has not tried that will ease my symptoms.
If I have more than one symptom, she spends more time. Besides acupuncture, she uses moist heat, cupping and even herbs if you’re into that kind of medicine. However, she doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for the herbs.
I get all kinds of pain: from arthritis to wracking body ache, from reversed sleep cycles to restless legs syndrome (it’s not a funny disease contrary to Bill Marr), from nausea to flu-​like fuzzy-​headed symptoms, from excruciating nerve pain to headaches at the base of my skull to my temples.
Jenny at least relieves the symptoms I’m having that day & for a few more days. And with regular appointments she has eliminated symptoms for weeks or months for me.
Acupuncture with Jenny is the best tool I have for coping with my illness and I have an excruciating form of Lyme disease. Sad to say, very few doctors or medical service practitioners are Lyme literate. Many doctors say if you can’t pass my blood tests you must be crazy. Jenny was interested in helping from the first time I came in to see her.
Talking to her during an appointment, I found out that she’s finishing a Ph.D. in acupuncture and Chinese medicine that focuseson the symptoms of all those diseases most doctors don’t want to talk about: not just Lyme disease but chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and a long list of autoimmune and immune deficient diseases.
I always feel symptom relief after a session and she works on me until she feels she has addressed all my symptoms. She takes good medical notes before every session but has an intuition about what is hurting the most that day in my body or mind. She does not divide the two like many doctors.
Hope she helps,
T.H.
