Acupuncture is a tradition used for health maintenance for 5,000 years. More recently, the World Health Organization has identified 41 conditions that lend themselves to acupuncture treatment. Although Dr. Rabenhorst treats the whole people and not labels or isolated systems, it is interesting that the National Institutes of Health have noted acupuncture's utility in adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting, post-operative dental pain, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofacial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma.
Jennifer Rabenhorst, MD, MAc, LAc focuses on empowering her patients to heal body, mind and spirit. She creates the space for healing, and helps this process happen with grace and love. Her training includes graduating Cum Laude and with Honors with a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. She went to the University of Maryland School of Medicine (4 years), and completed her formal training at the Georgetown University/Providence Hospital Family Practice Residency Program (3 years). Upon graduation from Residency, she was honored with the Community Medicine Award. She then earned her Masters of Acupuncture from Tai Sophia (3.5 years). She also has training in Zero Balancing, Akashic Records and Reiki. Dr. Rabenhorst was honored with a Patients' Choice award in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Of the nation's 720,000 active physicians, less than 5% are accorded this honor.
Dr. Rabenhorst studied acupuncture for over 3 years and has been independently practicing for over 2 years. She has a Masters in Acupuncture from Tai Sophia and has continued her study in further courses. She finds this work very spiritual, yet also very effective in decreasing pain and other symptoms.
