Jeremy Jacks
Acupuncturist - MAcOM, LAc
Jeremy has a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from Portland State University (2000) and a Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM; 2005). After graduation, Jeremy received extensive clinical training in advanced Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology at the prestigious Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. While there, he was fortunate to study under doctors with over 50 years of experience, including Dr. Xu, master herbalist and head of the Department of Gynecology, and Dr. Wang, head of the Acupuncture Department at the Nanjing Municipal Hospital.
With 20 years of experience, he has continued his education in Chinese Medicine, as well as Functional Medicine (including lab analysis), Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis, Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), Morphogenic Field Testing (MFT), System Strength Analysis (SSA), and Electro Acupuncture Medicine. Most recently, Jeremy had the honor of being one of the few practitioners in the United States to learn and practice Electron Adaptive Neurotherapy, a sports medicine and orthopedic acupuncture technique that helps resolve chronic pain conditions.
Jeremy was first exposed to Oriental medicine as a teenager after being advised by a number of Western medical specialists to stop playing sports because of debilitating knee pain. As an avid basketball player and sports lover, this was a heavy blow. In his search for alternatives that didn’t involve surgery or giving up sports altogether, he tried acupuncture. The experience and success of the treatment forever changed the way he viewed medicine.
