Stephanie Jones
Nurse Practitioner and Clinic Owner
I have been a Nurse Practitioner since 2007 and have practiced in a variety of roles, but no role has given me as much joy and satisfaction as helping people function at their best. I have specialized in chronic pain management since January 2016 because I personally how debilitating pain can be. It can impact a person physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Not only does pain do this to the person, but also to their family and friends who watch them suffer.
As a nurse practitioner, I have administered over 100,000 injections to treat the underlying cause of nerve pain, muscle pain, joint pain, headaches, and more. I have been on the receiving end of the treatments and found significant healing through the trigger point injections, regenerative medicine, and decompression I have received at our clinic.
I have always enjoyed root cause medicine – finding and treating the root cause of the symptoms a patient is experiencing. I wanted to be able to do this for more than pain, so in 2019, I began my studies in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). One of IFM’s slogans is “Changing the Way We Do Medicine and the Medicine We Do.” I love this because it is a commitment to partnering WITH the patient as I try to help them heal and function better.
I understand that there are times when we will not be able to help a patient function without any symptoms or struggles, and I do not offer false hope to patients about our ability to help them. The good news is that the majority of people who have come to receive treatment at our clinic have found significant relief and have been able to live a higher quality of life and participate in activities that they have not been able to enjoy for years. Many people who come to see us have been told there is “nothing that can be done” to relieve their symptoms, and we are happy to help them discover that there can be hope for healing!
When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and neighbors, playing board games, enjoying the outdoors in our beautiful Pacific Northwest, working out, and participating in our house church, Crux Community.
