Silver Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs

I have had a long history with sinus problems and headaches, and in the time I have spent coming to Jessica Silver for acupuncture she has been able to help me reduce my headaches and sinus problems almost completely. Her technique is extremely gentle while her manner is caring, quietly confident and reassuring. I heartily recommend Jessica to anyone considering acupuncture and herbalism to supplement their medical regimen. Thanks Jess!

I first went to see Jessica for help with a fertility issue: I was 37, wanted to get pregnant, and had ovarian cysts that were preventing ovulation and resisted treatment by Western approaches. I was immediately taken with Jessica’s easygoing and friendly manner. From the first treatment, she was interested in getting to know me as a whole person. Her treatments were gentle—I left them feeling relaxed and energized, not wiped out as I had after visiting some other TCM practitioners—and she was always sensitive to how a given treatment felt while I was undergoing it. Jessica used a combination of acupuncture, heat lamp, moxibustion, and herbal formulas to help bring my body into balance; about six months after beginning treatment, I became pregnant naturally, without really even trying. Now I am the mom of a happy, healthy 14-month-old son. I attribute this success to Jessica’s knowledge as a practitioner and to her incredible positive attitude, which helped give me faith in my body’s own knowledge and capability.

After two years of futile attempts at handling a newly diagnosed condition of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (steroid-based medications), and after feeling like a leper with poison ivy, I went to Jessica. For the FIRST TIME, I have lasting relief. Jessica is treating me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. She’s wonderful! She’s attentive, gentle, and incredibly smart. My skin looks normal and I’m feeling comfortable. I can’t say enough good things here. You have to try her for yourself. You won’t be sorry.

I received acupuncture treatment for respiratory problems from Jessica Silver L.Ac., because the amount of stress I was experiencing was causing asthma and breathing difficulties. Her patient, calming presence made it possible for me, an extremely sensitive person, to receive acupuncture treatment, and the difference it made was incredible! I highly recommend seeing Ms. Silver for treatment.

When I met Jessica Silver, L.Ac., I had been having a tightness in my chest which seemed like a big ball of stress, worry and anxiety stuck there. Her approach was gentle and calming, and the acupuncture treatment made that disturbing presence in my body disappear. After experiencing so much relief from the first problem, I returned to Jessica for treatment of my foot pain which had started 4 months before. After the first treatment it felt 80% better, and by the second treatment the pain was gone. Thanks Jessica – I’m a believer!

I was very nervous about trying acupuncture for the first time (foolishly, I thought it would hurt) but decided to go for it after Jessica was so enthusiastically referred to me. I am thrilled that I did b/c she is AMAZING. I was a totally stressed out, tired, overworked insomniac full of anxiety when I met her. Now, I am much more relaxed, less tense, energized and definitely happier. Jess is quite gentle, professional, and very, very effective. The positive results are noticeable – inside and out!!!

I started acupuncture with Jessica Silver, L.Ac. in December 2007. My husband and I wanted to avoid fertility medications but were unable to conceive after a year of trying. I was not getting my period at all, and was diagnosed 3 years ago with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Jessica was great; she really put my mind at ease. After about 10 weekly acupuncture sessions, herbs, and some dietary changes, I became pregnant in 3.5 months! We weren’t expecting it to happen so fast but my husband and I are really looking forward to meeting our new baby in November!

I had an ACL reconstruction surgery on my knee which resulted in traumatic arthritis. Not wanting to forever depend on anti-inflammatory drugs, I tried acupuncture. I had two sessions with Jessica Silver and what a difference! I now have full range of motion and the knee is great. Even the cold weather doesn’t bother me. I am definitely a satisfied patient and would recommend her completely.

After years of searching for answers to my chronic back pain, I’ve finally found relief with Jessica Silver’s acupuncture treatments. After an extensive analysis of the symptoms and causes of my back pain condition, Jessica designed a program which addressed my painful ailments, and the results have been amazing. Her attentive care contrasts to the “fill out a prescription – next!” care received from the average doctor. She has made a difference, and I would highly recommend her services

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Jessica Silver, L.Ac. and share my experience with other headache-sufferers via the following testimonial:


I came to Jessica with migraines, Chronic Headache Syndrome, and major depression. During the last six years I had been trying in vain to find a cure for my endless suffering. I tried Botox injections, Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax, and other migraine medication, which only alleviated my pain for several hours. I tried acupuncture at four different places, and I was treated for depression and headaches in a hospital. In addition, I tried cervical injections at a pain management center to relieve my constant neck pain, which always resonated in my head, adding to my already ever-present headaches. But none of these attempted remedies worked for me. All these years, pain was my shadow, and it was ruining my life completely. I felt like my headaches affected all my actions.

Despite all my failed attempts at finding cure, I kept hoping (against all odds) and looking for the reason why I had these pains and how I could get rid of them. Finally, I got lucky with Jessica Silver, L.Ac. She patiently explained to me what was going on with my body and what needed to be done to restore it to its natural balance, the upset of which was causing my chronic pain. Upon our first meeting, Jessica astonished me with her vast knowledge of her subject and with her sincere concern for her patients (which is something I had never encountered in another doctor or practitioner before her). After 1.5 months of her treatment with acupuncture and herbs, my headaches are beginning to release their hold on my life and, for short periods of time, my pain goes away completely. This is something I am experiencing for the first time in six years! I wish all headache-sufferers to experience this relief and to know that it is definitely possible. Do not waste any more time. Go straight to Jessica and you will see a miracle!
