Root & Stem describes itself as an integrative Chinese medicine practice with locations in Oakland and Nevada City. Jessica Parker, who owns the business, and the team includes several licensed acupuncturists who hold doctorate-level credentials. Each clinic has its own practitioners and schedule, so the right location depends on who you want to see and whether they are taking new patients.
The practice's stated philosophy is to look for the underlying cause of a problem rather than only easing symptoms, and to support the body's own capacity to heal. Care often combines acupuncture with lab work, lifestyle and dietary guidance, and herbal or supplement recommendations. Treatment plans are individualized and revised as the patient's needs change.
A first visit starts with a thorough intake conversation, vital signs, a review of health history, and possibly lab testing. Initial acupuncture and Eastern medicine sessions also include tongue and pulse diagnosis, abdominal diagnosis, auricular acupuncture where appropriate, cupping or gua sha, Celluma light therapy, and an herbal assessment. Comprehensive functional and Eastern medicine work runs as a 12-week program with an extended first assessment, follow-up visits, blood chemistry testing and dietary recipe recommendations.
The clinic has a notable focus on women's health and fertility, including a holistic fertility program led at Oakland by Nyah Blais and a free first fertility consultation. Other areas of focus include pain relief for sports injuries, back and joint pain, migraines, and menstrual cramps, as well as cosmetic offerings such as the Radiant Aging program, which combines microneedling, facial acupuncture and light therapy without injectables. Oakland also offers a massage and acupuncture combination session that runs two hours. The business says it has been recognized in local readers' polls, though those are its own claims.
Treatment is individualized, and each plan is reviewed and adjusted over time. The practice pairs Chinese medicine with lab-informed functional medicine, aiming at root causes as well as symptoms.
