Injuries at work or from motor vehicles can be very challenging to fully recover from. We understand this and work to keep you motivated on your path to recovery. We work with your primary care doctor, and your chiropractor and provide you with the complete care you need to return to your normal activities. Acupuncture will help with the pain and anxiety from injuries. Our superior integrative care provides our patients with the hope that they will return to how their life was prior to their injury.

Rooted in Chinese Medicine theory, Acupuncture is extremely vast in its effectiveness to help the body shift its way back to health.

There are not many disorders that acupuncture can’t at least help with. Often, it can help your body shift into a healing space so specific and deep that your symptoms no longer exist.

Some things are quick to turn around like a sprained ankle, a headache, shoulder tension from a long day at the computer, finding calm again after a stressful work week, and much more. Other things take time. It’s the third time you have torn your medial meniscus, but not to worry there may be more damage, but we are patient and will give you tools, herbs, and topicals to help it heal faster.

You get the idea.

Acupuncture doesn’t hurt 99.9% of the time. And even if it does, it’s quick to pass, and AcuLand is right around the corner. The needles insertions are just a small prick sensation that most people don’t even feel. The sensation of “Qi” after that is different for everyone.. but it is typically described as dull, achy, traveling, warm, sparkly, or just simply an awareness of the area.

Cosmetic acupuncture is focused and holistic like clinical acupuncture. Only the end goal is to work on the inside AND outside so you look and feel your best.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is an organic holistic facial for long-lasting results. This treatment combines a tailored body acupuncture treatment, with an added extension of a set of needles on the face for addressing your aesthetic desires, as well as red/yellow/blue light therapy, facial cupping, and gua sha facial sculpting. This treatment is a gentle, non-invasive, and effective way to look more your younger age! Sure to bring a glow to your face each visit and provide lasting results with multiple treatments. Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture can be very beneficial for acne, fine lines & wrinkles, dull and lustreless complexion, dark circles, puffiness and bags under the eyes, and a feeling of overall glow and brightness to the skin. Lara has been practicing Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture for over 14 years and is aware of its benefits and limitations. This is not botox, it won't relax your wrinkles by immobilizing the muscles. It can, however, plump up the finer and deeper wrinkles and encourage the skin to resurface that area so it is less folded and crepe-like. Generate more qi and blood to the face for collagen production, blood circulation, cellular turnover, and for eliminating fluid and inflammation. You can also add-on microneedling on to the end of this treatment by booking our "Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture + MIcroneedling Combo" for extra glowing skin.

If needles are not your thing, and you want to establish trust with a practitioner these therapies are for you!

Cupping creates suction that melts away muscle tension. It is also useful to combat symptoms of colds and flu’s. We may even cup your belly if you have stomach issues. Or maybe your IT band if you are a chronic “non-stretcher”.

Moxa is gentle and warming and used to treat a wide range of disorders. Overused tendons like tennis elbow, torn hamstrings and plantar fasciitis heal much faster with moxa treatments. Menstrual cramps reduce with moxa on the abdomen, and fatigue due to anemia reduces with daily use as well.

Gua Sha utilizes a ceramic spoon or jade gua sha tool. Originally called Gua Sha this ancient Chinese technique is also known as "scraping" or "graston." Similar to cupping, this modality is generally used to release muscle tension and pain, encourage lymphatic drainage, and promote circulation. It is most commonly used for painful areas on the body that need more than massage or muscle release from acupuncture.

All of our LMT's have graduated from local massage schools here in Portland, OR.

Our clinic has provided additional extensive training in "Integrative Therapeutic Massage Techniques" for specific areas of the body, giving them the title 'Integrative Therapeutic Massage Specialists" (ITMS)

The continuity of care will be very similar with each ITM Specialist.

In addition, we encourage each specialist to add their own magic to the treatment, based on how the body has shifted after our ITM Techniques have been implemented.

We utilize various techniques to make your massage as therapeutic, relaxing and rejuvenating as possible. We lean on healing techniques such as soft tissue manipulation, myofacial release, deep tissue, trigger point release, gentle circulation massage and range of motion stretching.
