I have been dealing with left elbow pain for over a year. I went to my general practitioner several times. I had multiple steroid treatments, X-rays with no improvement. Next step was specialist and MRI. I was recommended to Dr. Jes and decided to give it a try. After the first treatment, I could feel improvement. After the third treatment I was back to using the arm with no pain. One year of pain gone in under two weeks. I highly recommend as she is a great professional and person.

Dr. Jes is the best! She is very knowledgeable, very caring and takes the time to listen. She understands and knows how to treat nerve pain. Her expertise in this type of pain is exceptional and I highly recommend her.

Did not know what to expect when I first went. But after the very First visit I got the best nights sleep that Ive had in years. Dr Jess has helped me break a habit Ive had many years. I simply do as she suggest and it works. if you are honest about the things that you are dealing with and willing to do as suggested to you I feel like She will help. Thanks for reading and Feel Better.Just wanted to add to this. Had a hard week at work and was back was very tight and sore. It only took Dr Jes one visit and my back was feeling good again. Thanks

I highly recommend Dr. Jes Dwyer. I decided to try acupuncture because of pain in my foot and ankle one year after suffering multiple broken bones in my ankle. I was still limping, having difficulty walking, and in pain daily. Her expertise and knowledge in her field was and is very impressive. Also, Dr. Jes is very kind, compassionate, and friendly, putting me at ease immediately. After only a few visits, I knew I had made the best choice by coming to her! My pain level is hardly noticeable now and I am able to walk normally. With her performing acupuncture twice a week, for only a month, I am simply amazed with my progress. She also provided me with herbal supplements for inflammation, and herbal strips to apply directly explaining clearly how and where they were to be used. I was hoping acupuncture would yield some improvement for me but I truly had no idea how much meeting with her would help give me back my lifestyle. My friends and family are in awe. I look forward to every appointment. Thank you so much Dr. Jes, it has been my pleasure to be your patient.Photo below shows my walking asymmetry!

Today was my very first appointment for acupuncture and I cant believe how good I feel. It was really something. I mainly went in desperation for pain management in my left arm which has edema and was a little anxious but needing relief ASAP. I now have range of motion I havent had in I dont know how long and the pain is definitely less. She introduced me to Chinese herbs for pain, edema and inflammation, an herbal patch for pain, and two other remedies to open the main lymph areas to continue to drain them. My mind is clear and focused. I went in distressed and in agony and came out relieved and hopeful. Im amazed. I went out to eat which I havent been out in weeks because of the pain and exhaustion and I was hungry. Ive had NO appetite due to the pain. The first thing I said when we left was lets eat, Im so hungry! Looking forward to my next appointment. 😊Thanks so much Dr. Jes!!!Lenah Cottle

I was having pain from Trigeminal Neuraliga. It took 5 visits to completely stop the pain. I have been pain free for a month now and will continue to return for maintenance. Great doctor and staff.

I began to see Dr. Jes after a long term illness of chronic sinusitis. I had two sinus surgeries which provided little relief. I later developed a constant cough and wheezing. After my first week with her I began to feel a positive change and each week my condition greatly improved. I am so glad to have met Dr. Jes. and would highly recommend her. She is a true caring professional.

Ive worked with other acupuncturists in Los Angeles and Chattanooga, and Dr. Jes Dwyer is the best! Extremely well trained and very knowledgable. And her staff is kind and concerned about your well being, too. I came to AcuChatt with a terrible case of tinnitus, and I am feeling SO much better. Tinnitus is no longer controlling my life.

Review №11

Ive been to Acuchatt several times now, and I really like how Im progressing. I went for acupuncture to address health and wellbeing concerns, and was pleasantly surprised to get advanced herbal knowledge and recommendations as well. The acupuncture approach is the same as I experienced from one other practitioner in my past, and is the only acupuncture approach Ive experienced that is successful in treating my issues. I definitely and unreservedly recommend Dr. Jes Dwyer for acupuncture and herbal treatment.

Review №12

After trying acupuncture a couple times prior to my visit, I was amazed at how thorough and comfortable my consult at AcuChatt was. Jes was able to identify things that were able to be relieved with acupuncture- that I wasn’t aware was possible. Her education for her patients on what she’s doing, and why and how everything works together in the human body made everything make more sense. I left feeling euphoric, and can not wait for my next visit!

I’ve had chronic pain and TMJ for years to the point that I have tried multiple mouth guards, chiropractic care, and monthly deep tissue massages, but they weren’t able to get to the root cause like acupuncture did. I’m blown away that in 6-8 visits my pain is almost gone! So grateful for AcuChatt - I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking to try it out.

I met Dr. Jes through a friend, and I had recently been complaining about my tight calves from running and hiking. Id never had acupuncture before, but I decided to pop in and learn a bit more. It was really interesting, especially when I was able to feel some of the tightness release as she was going through the procedure! My range of motion increased considerably, just after a few hours. Highly recommend!

Review №17

I couldnt say more positive things about my appointments, Jes Dwyer, or the relief in pain I feel afterwards.I will admit before my first appointment I was very skeptical as naturally most would be, not to mention a slight fear of needles doesnt help either. I would like to start by describing the feeling of acupuncture being only a slight touch of pressure and absolutely no stabbing or sharp pains. In fact the entire process is so relaxing that I caught myself falling asleep several times.Jes Dwyer is genuinely concerned with your reason for visit and extremely easy to talk to throughout the entire process.After my first visit I felt instant relief in both my knee and back. Upon a follow-up visit for my knee I am feeling no further back pain and the pain in my knee is quickly vanishing as well.I highly recommend Acu Chatt!

Review №18

My name is Tammy and I came to Jes in excruciating pain from an injury on my spine that I didnt yet know about. The pain was intolerable and she not only helped me to relieve the pain, but had the expertise to know exactly how long we needed to space the appointments and what my journey would most likely entail. Her knowledge of the Chinese herbs and what I needed specifically to help me during this journey was extraordinary and very useful. She has been an integral part of my healing not just because of her assistance, but also recommended (while feeling my neck), a trained chiropractor that specializes in upper cervical spine who has helped to facilitate my healing alongside her, they worked in tandem with each other. By the time I went to a spinal surgeon, he just sent me on my way and said I was taking care of it on my own and no need for surgery or an MRI. I cannot express how important it is to find the one that can help with as much training and knowledge as Jes has. Shes a miracle worker!

Review №19

I had major back surgery in November, 2015. I have done pretty well until late 2019 to early 2020. We found out that Disc L1 is narrowing and there is a bulge between L1 and L2 (this is above where my surgery was) and the surgeon thinks that is what is causing more pain. I asked his opinion about acupuncture and he said to go ahead and try it to see if I would get any relief. After the first treatment that Jes gave me, the sharp pains going from my lower back to my left hip left me and I was able to stand up from my chair without holding on to another chair to help myself up. I am also able to stand for longer periods and do more around the house. I have had 6 treatments with Jes and am continuing with her for the future. It is helping me every time that I have a treatment. I am in great hopes that the pain will slowly go away or at least lessen to the point that I can function better on a daily basis. Jes is very knowledgeable and very thorough. She really cares about her patients and wants to help in anyway that she can. I recommend that if anyone has lower back pain and they dont want surgery, they should check out acupuncture and go to see Jes Dwyer at Acu Chatt in Chattanooga, TN

I highly recommend Jes Dwyer. Jes is kind, caring, and compassionate. She asks questions and actively listens to my answers. (I can’t tell you how important that is to me!) She has helped me immensely since I started acupuncture treatments with her. I came to Jes with painful sciatica. I could not drive across town without significant pain; I couldn’t sit on my sofa or work at my desk for more than 30-45 minutes without the pain flaring up. Physical therapy didn’t help. The spine specialist wanted to do an injection of steroids in my spine, and, if that didn’t work, he recommended surgery. It was not a big deal to him, but the thought of sticking a needle in my spine, especially since there was no guarantee the steroids would work, was terrifying to me. And surgery was NOT an option I would even consider at this point. So, I investigated non-traditional treatment options and found acupuncture. It worked a couple decades ago to treat my whiplash from a rear-end collision, so I decided to pursue it for my back. I am so glad I did. I saw improvement after just a few treatments. During Covid-19 shelter-at-home period, I developed some knee pain that made walking uncomfortable. Once office visits resumed, Jes and I discussed how I was doing. I mentioned the knee pain, and she began treating that as well. Again, I saw immediate improvement. In short order, I was walking 100% pain free. I can drive almost two hours now without pain. And I don’t worry about where I’m sitting or how long. While I’m not pain-free yet, I’m encouraged by the improvements Ive seen. I continue to come to Acu Chatt for treatments. My results attest to the skills and knowledge Jes has. But just as important to me is the rapport and trust I have developed with Jes,. For these reasons, I highly recommend Jes Dwyer and Acu Chatt.

I am 47 years old and have suffered from back and hip pain for over 2 years. After seeing several different Drs., going through multiple tests, and taking various meds with no results I decided to give Acupuncture a try. I explained my symptoms to Jes and she listened. She not only listened, but after a handful of treatments the nerve pain I had grown so accustomed to was gone! GONE. I couldn’t believe it. Jes is very professional and knowledgeable and I am so thankful for her! She has helped me more than any other treatment or medication ever has. If you are skeptical or hesitant to try Acupuncture, don’t be! It is a life changing experience for me. I will be a patient for life.

Jes Dwyer is a wonderful addition to the holistic practitioners of Chattanooga. Not only is she knowledgeable of both Eastern and Western ways of healing but she is also very personable and kind—which makes the acupuncture experience even more helpful. Highly recommended!

Ive had such great experiences with Dr. Dwyer with acupuncture and cupping. This being my first experience with acupuncture, I was very timid and not sure what to expect. Dr. Dwyer was very patient while explaining the whole process to me, how different points on the body react to the issues I was having, and what to expect. I went in a complete novice and came out very knowledgeable, AND feeling so much better. The cupping was an amazing experience as well, I feel so energized and refreshed after treatments.

My experience with Jes for my acupuncture was amazing !!! she was very helpful in tailoring it to my needs and I instantly felt more uplifted! She is kind ,sweet and professional. This service was done at Thrive yoga and wellness in her community ACu and fire cupping sessions. Check her out as well as the yoga classes at Thrive Yoga and Wellness studio. I am not being paid to give such a great review. i am just a fan of great service !!!!

Jes was great - I did 4 sessions with her to help induce labor for a VBAC. Jes answered all my questions, gave me exercises to do at home to continue the work, and was willing to work around my childcare needs.I was able to do a VBAC - I cant say that it was completely due to the acupuncture, but I expect that it definitely helped defy the odds and give me a boost!

Review №27

After a life long fear of needles I gave acupuncture a try at the end of November. Ive been going to Jes twice weekly since. Ive suffered from chronic back and neck pain for almost 20 years due to an injury.I am starting to see remarkable results and I believe consistency has been key. Yday I was able to spend 7 hours caring for a family member in the hospital and as I was driving home realized I was in zero pain! Normally, I would suffer tremendously after exerting so much physical effort.I also carry a great deal of stress, so weve been working on emotional balance. Its amazing the effect having emotions balanced lowers your pain levels...the body truly does keep the score!The secret is getting out! Jes is amazing and everyone I know should give acupuncture with her a try!

From skeptical to a believer after one visit.I have suffered from Shingles for over 2 months .At the urging of a family member,who discovered Jes,I decided to give Acupuncture a try.My Shingles have been horrible with little relief from conventional medicine and this combined with lower back pain was making life miserable. Jes listened and exclaimedI can fix your back and relieve the Shingles pain. She has delivered on her promise.I highly recommend Jes as she is knowledgeable,professional and most of all convinced she can help alleviate pain.

My name is Adam Walker, I was dealing with a torn rotator in my left shoulder since May 2019. After getting no relief from physical therapy, my only option I was aware of was going to be surgery to repair the tear. Then I met Jes Dwyer and learned about acupuncture. I still wasn’t sure about it but after a good friend told me about how much it helped them I thought I would try it out.Before I came to Acuchatt I was in pain every day, I was only getting a few hours of sleep each night, I was miserable. After a couple of treatments my pain levels went down significantly, and my sleep improved. I have had several treatments now and am nearly 100%. It’s scary how well acupuncture works!! I told Jes this and I truly mean it, Jes Dwyer is my hero! I would recommend Dr. Jes to anyone, and I do so on a daily basis!Thank you Jes for everything, if it wasn’t for you I would still be in misery.

Was introduced to ACU Chatt through my yoga studio. I’m so glad Jes came to Chattanooga. I went for the first time after being in agony with shoulder pain. Acupuncture and cupping worked wonders on the problem. I’ve been continuing to go after seeing such success with my shoulders. She’s helped with my migraines now too. My overall wellness has greatly improved because of Jes. Thanks so much!

My name is Matt. I went in seeking acupuncture on the recommendation of my therapist and was introduced to Jess. Having absolute zero knowledge of this form of medicine I felt apprehensive. Jess took the time to explain to me the basics of acupuncture and herbal therapy and how they could affect my health. I suffer from bipolar disorder and anxiety. I have seen Jess for the past 3 months every week for acupuncture. During our visits she has also prescribed herbs to strengthen the benefits I gained from our acupuncture sessions. I have been able to stop taking my anxiety meds and my sweating from anxiety has been eliminated. I am now more relaxed and confident in my life while feeling overall happy. No other form of therapy has been able to help me the way Jess has. Jess, I thank you graciously and recommend anyone wanting to try an alternative form of medicine to visit her.

Fantastic! I injured my ankle during some strenious activities earlier this year. My foot got swollen and super stiff, to the point where I was beginning to think I had sprained or dislocated something. One visit to Jes, and my swelling and pain subsided in almost no time at all, allowing my foot to recover completely.

I was having some serious hip pain, the moment I would lay down at night , the pain was excruciating running down the front of my legs!! My regular Dr said it was bursitis, only no pain walking or sitting. A friend suggested Dr Jes. Now I have been doing acupuncture for 16+ years for my arthritis with great success. I met with Dr Jes, she was very empathetic and compassionate about my condition. After some checking, I have sciatica and spinal stenosis, not bursitis. After she treated me that first night I could actually lie down almost completely without pain. After sometime I am pleased to say I feel really good. For any skeptics acupuncture is truly amazing and Dr Jes is amazing, I cant thank her enough for all she has done for me.Thankyou Dr Jes

I had intense pain on my left shoulder and couldnt even turn my neck to the left without wincing. Despite my high sensitivity to needles, Dr. Dwyer was super gentle and made me feel relaxed. After only one acupuncture treatment, the sharp pain went away and the muscles loosened significantly. I highly recommend Acu Chatt to everyone. Thank you Dr. Dwyer for your care!

My name is Crystal and I am a yoga instructor at Thrive Yoga and Wellness Studio. I tried acupuncture by Jes Dwyer after teaching class this morning. I have been feeling stressed lately with work and feeling overwhelmed. I have been stress eating and it’s been causing a lot of bloating. Jes was so sweet and knowledgeable. I told her I was planning on doing a cleanse starting tomorrow and we are gonna follow up next week with herbs that will help enhance the cleanse. Jes made the environment extremely comfortable and relaxing for the 20 minute acupuncture session. I left feeling so relaxed and calm. It was just what I needed. If you haven’t tried acupuncture, contact Jes for a session. She also does fire cupping, which I will be doing next weekend. Currently you can find her at Thrive Yoga Wellness Studio on Sundays at 11:30am. Come by or contact her for an appointment. You won’t be sorry and it will be one of the best things you can do for your mind and body.

My name is Lynn and I started acupuncture treatments for stress, sleep depravation and depression. It was bad. Really bad. They treated me for kidney and liver dysfunction and the results have been amazing. Quality of life is back! I met Jes Dwyer who was working at the office I went to. To be honest, she is one of those people that just connects. We had a lot of fun talking before treatments. And yet she really listens to your concerns and addresses them. I am really going to miss her as she moves on since graduation and wish her all the BEST. She is a gem!

Acuchatt is awesome! I had been skeptical about the natural medicine field until I tried it. Accupuncture combined with the right herbal remedies has relieved me from serious neck pain, and Ive literally avoided prescribed surgery! Im impressed and will now see an orientation medicine doctor first, before seeking out a traditional medicine solution for whatever ailments pop up in the future!

Review №40

Before seeing Jes (Dr. Dwyer professionally), I had been on a dedicated two-year healing path from a recent car accident and decades of high impact and high intensity sports, and I still felt as though I suffered from chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, lower back, and most recently numbness and tingling in my arms.After a session or two with her my numbness and tingling subsided, and my back, shoulder, and neck pain became occasional soreness and achiness rather than chronic pain. It was so out of the ordinary that I didnt realize it until speaking with her at my third or fourth appointment. I had legitimately accepted that I would be living with chronic pain forever, and it didnt even register that it had dissipated. During my most recent session with Jes, even with needles in me, I reached a level of relaxation, comfort, and ease that I have maybe experienced one other time in my life.If I had to do it all over again, Jes would realistically be one of my first visits after the accident, and one of my first health practitioner visits ever. Reasons Being:Shes very attentive to your needs and concerns, simultaneously listening, advising, and practicing with fluid grace and precision. Her methods and training are holistic in scope of which she is highly knowledgeable and skilled, from herbal remedies (extremely important, be sure to inquire with her) to acupuncture. If your ailments are beyond her scope of expertise, shes able to confidently guide you to the proper channels of care.Acupuncture and herbal therapies aren’t a one-step-fix-all solution, but have been a major staple to my health and well-being. And I cant stress enough the importance of seeing someone who really knows what theyre doing, like Dr. Dwyer. I had seen a few other Acupuncturists before her, and nothing came of any of it.Jes is a true master of her craft and I’d recommend her to anyone!

I can’t recommend Jessica Dwyer for acupuncture and Chinese Medicine enough. I originally sought treatment from her for hormonal imbalance after years of missed menstrual cycles and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. After just a couple of months of regular treatment, Jessica got my cycle back in order and taught me ways to keep it regular and sooth my symptoms on my own. She was also able to help me with chronic digestive issues and back pain. I’d come to her for one reason and by the end of the session not only would my original issue be treated, but I’d learned how to take care of other issues I was having through dietary practices and Chinese Medicine as well. She uses very effective and wholistic approaches.

Jes Dwyer, AP has worked with me for a chronic back and acute hip condition. Over the course of a month with weekly appointments, my back and hip pain improved considerably.Jes was holistically-oriented, very present, kind and knowledgeable. She help to educate me more about Eastern medicine, herbs and acupuncture. I am so grateful for her good work and recommend her highly!

My name is Tessa and I’m 35 years old. I was a patient of Jes’s when I was exploring treatment for an aching left hip and knee. Mother has suffered from fairly aggressive rheumatoid arthritis for many years, and I was fearful I might be developing the same auto-immune disease. After months of pain I went for acupuncture – like 20 needles in both my hip and knee and on my hip was also an electrical attachment. I had never had acupuncture prior and had no real expectations of results, but I was pleasantly surprised! (Very surprised actually)… Shortly thereafter the pain went away. Im so happy I tried the acupuncture before going through an list of tests and possible longer list of medications!
