Feel Better, Heal Faster!

Acupuncture treats pain by activating the body’s "self healing capacity" and promoting circulation in the cells and tissues.

• Circulation reduces inflammation

• Circulation brings healing nutrients into cells

• Circulation pulls toxins out of damaged cells 

• Circulation also increases flexibility and reduces pain, so you feel better faster!

• For best results, start Acupuncture treatment ASAP following a car accident

Treat Stress and Emotional Trauma

Approx 30% of People have Anxiety or PTSD after a Car Accident

• Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for PTSD symptoms like depression, anxiety and insomnia.

• The healing effects of acupuncture can last three months or more post-treatment.

• Acupuncture for PTSD does NOT require talking about or re-constructing the traumatic events for healing

  • This is unlike other conventional psychiatric treatments that are exposure-oriented (in that they require patients to reconstruct traumatic incidents).

 Herbal Treatments & Vitamins/Supplements

Add the right nutrients to your body to maximize your healing capabilities!

• Chinese Herbal Treatments speed healing and treat pain so you won't need dangerous Opiates

• Herbs can be used internally or topically for effective pain relief

• Vitamins are the building blocks your cells need to recover and repair themselves.

Feel the benefits of combining Acupuncture, Massage, Stretching, and other Bodywork Techniques like Cupping or Guasha during your appointment!

• Enjoy the convenience of Massage and Acupuncture performed at the same visit - saves you time and travel expenses!

• Stretching helps to reduce muscle pain and spasms and is a perfect addition to your appointment!

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) in Oregon either as a pedestrian, driver, passenger or bicyclist, you are legally entitled to receive medical care.

In the state of Oregon, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance pays medical bills resulting from an MVA. State law mandates at least $15,000 in PIP coverage for you and each of your vehicle passengers for a period of one year after a collision - no matter who was at fault. The law also allows you to seek motor vehicle accident care from the licensed health care practitioners of your choice - NO REFERRAL REQUIRED!
