Hi, I'm Jeff Fricot, founder and head practitioner of SynerQi. I provide professional healthcare services in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) including, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping and moxibustion. I believe TCM has the means to promote optimal health in each person.
My main area of interest is managing pain associated with the muscular skeletal system, sporting injuries and arthritis. I'm also interested in woman's health associated with sleep, fatigue and stress and digestive disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. My mission is always to do my best and provide the best care I can to my clients!

Services
When managing muscular pain and injuries, I typically combine acupuncture treatments with Chinese herbal medicine. I have a special interest in sciatica, sprained joints, frozen shoulder, tennis and golfers elbow, shin splints, post-surgery care from rotator cuff tears and knee injuries. The outlook of what causes pain in TCM is that blood movement in the body is impaired.
Arthritis isn't curable but acupuncture can help manage the degree of pain and discomfort. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) foresees the condition of arthritis as a blockage of blood and Qi (energy). The external environment such weather changes from hot to cold can influence blood circulation through the joints.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help manage common digestive symptoms such as colic, diarrhea, constipation and bloating. This allows fatty food to clog the digestive track especially in the intestines allowing dampness to accumulate. The onset of the dampness results in fatigue, bloating, weight gain and loose stool with undigested food.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) may be used to manage various health matters concerning women's health. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help manage pain symptoms associated with endometriosis, fatigue and stress related to pre-menstrual tension and the combination of IVF and acupuncture to assist in fertility issues.
Many expecting mothers suffer from the symptoms of nausea and vomiting early within their pregnancy. It usually starts at the 6 week mark and ends approximately at 16 weeks, but can continue throughout all 3 trimesters. The degree or nausea can vary where the nausea is persistent throughout the whole day without vomiting or it can be the other way around.

I have been going to Jeff regularly for the past year now. Jeff has a calming presence, and he is very caring, compassionate, and honest in his approach. Jeff takes the time to really get to know his patients and works with his patients to identify any underlying factors impacting health and wellbeing, to provide the most effective individual treatment. Jeff’s knowledge of acupuncture and his treatment approach, provides ongoing improvements to my health and wellbeing, including managing my stress levels, psoriasis, lower back pain, fatigue, digestive issues, shoulder pain/range of movement,

Jeff is thoughtful in his approach and his clients. I’ve seen his acupuncture skills relive pain in one session before my eyes for my brother and husband! Personally, I’ve worked consistently with Jeff over a few months for stagnation/hormonal issues with acupuncture and herbs - feeling better than I use to, but we are getting there!

Had trouble with Plantar Fasciitis for a couple of years. After trying a lot of alternatives, I was a bit skeptical about exploring acupuncture. But glad I did.
Jeff knew exactly how to deal with it. Now I am relieved from the pain and hope to enjoy doing the normal things in life without this nagging pain.

I had always been a skeptic about acupuncture and how that could really treat someone. Because honestly how could sticking needles in your body fix anything?... I was very very wrong. I came into Jeff's clinic with a case of chronic tennis elbow , frustrated that nothing seemed to be working, no physio, no tablets , nothing!
After a couple of sessions with Jeff, the inflammation reduced (now there's no inflammation) , and the pain reduced hugely. I can happily say that I'm completely healthy again and able to perform all my duties again. I cannot recommend Jeff enough for your acupuncture needs
