About Jade Star Acupuncture and Wellness
Jade Star Acupuncture and Wellness is an acupuncture and Chinese medicine practice serving Tucson and southern Arizona. The practice's main Tucson office is located on the city's east side, and Jade Star also has an office in Green Valley. Jade Star Acupuncture opened in 2011 and is owned by Jennifer Parks. Its team includes licensed acupuncturists who have completed master's degrees in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, along with a licensed massage therapist specializing in medical massage.
Acupuncture is part of a system of medicine developed in China that the practice describes as 5,000 years old. Jade Star explains this tradition through the concept of Qi, or the body's energy, flowing along pathways known as meridians. The practice offers acupuncture and Chinese medicine as part of a general practice that addresses everyday ailments as well as complicated chronic injuries. Its approach is centered on treating the whole body, mind, and spirit, while educating patients about Chinese medicine and medical massage.
The practice's services also include cupping and guasha, facial cupping, and medical massage. Jade Star's medical massage program is provided by certified and experienced therapists, with massage tables designed for medical and prenatal needs. Chinese herbal medicine is another part of the practice. Jade Star states that its herbal formulas are primarily plant based and are intended to stimulate the body's restorative processes. The practice prescribes standard processed, certified-safe herbal capsules based on an individual diagnosis.
Jade Star's Tucson team includes Jennifer Parks, Alicia Yurong, Esmeralda Mustain, Lily Sandlin, Kim Horning, and David Sanders, all listed as licensed acupuncturists. Elishea Currie is listed as the practice's licensed massage therapist. The broader staff includes clinical, patient coordination, billing, information technology, and operations roles, supporting the practice's day-to-day care and administration. Through its website, Jade Star also shares educational resources on subjects including acupuncture and shingles pain, the nervous system and PTSD, and acupuncture support before and after embryo implantation.
