Acupuncture
Acupuncture at Acu Chatt uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding to treat chronic pain, neurological conditions, and internal medicine issues. Patients experience improved function and reduced symptoms through personalized treatment plans that address both immediate concerns and underlying health imbalances.
SAAT Therapy
SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) is a specialized acupuncture protocol for allergy relief. This single-needle treatment targets ear points to reprogram the body's allergic response. Patients with food allergies, environmental sensitivities, and alpha-gal syndrome have achieved lasting relief through this innovative approach that combines traditional acupuncture with modern allergy science.
Dry Needling
Dry needling at Acu Chatt targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. This technique effectively treats chronic myofascial pain and post-injury recovery by releasing tight muscle bands. Our practitioners integrate dry needling with traditional acupuncture for comprehensive pain management, particularly beneficial for patients with sports injuries or repetitive strain conditions.
Herbal Medicine
Our herbal medicine program combines traditional Chinese formulas with modern research to support healing. Customized herbal protocols complement acupuncture treatments for conditions like autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, and digestive issues. Patients receive professional-grade formulations under expert supervision to ensure safe and effective integration with other therapies.
ATP Therapy
ATP Therapy uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate cellular energy production. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing for chronic pain conditions. Patients benefit from accelerated recovery and improved cellular function through this advanced therapy that complements our acupuncture services for optimal healing outcomes.

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.

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.

Did not know what to expect when I first went. But after the very First visit I got the best nights sleep that I've had in years. Dr Jess has helped me break a habit I've 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've 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.

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.
