What if the key to resolving your chronic pain, sleepless nights, or persistent stress had been refined over 2,000 years ago? Acupuncture, rooted in the ancient tradition of Chinese Medicine, works by restoring the natural flow of circulation and nutrients along specific channel pathways throughout the body.
When these pathways become blocked, the entire system falls out of balance, causing symptoms that can feel impossible to shake. By placing ultra-thin needles at precise points along these channels, acupuncture gently removes blockages and helps your body return to optimal function. It’s a time-tested, natural approach to moving better, feeling better, and living without the limitations that pain and imbalance create.
At FoRM Health in Portland, OR, our team includes licensed acupuncturists who bring deep expertise in traditional Chinese Medicine to every treatment. As part of an integrative clinic that bridges functional and regenerative medicine, FoRM Health is uniquely positioned to address your health at its root, not just mask the symptoms.
What Conditions Can Acupuncture Help With?
Acupuncture is extremely helpful for many different conditions. Because Chinese Medicine looks at your whole system, seemingly unrelated symptoms may be part of one or two “patterns” your acupuncturist will diagnose and treat. Here are some common conditions acupuncture is used to treat:
- Insomnia
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress, depression, and anxiety
- Fertility issues
- Perimenopausal symptoms including hot flashes, mood swings, and dryness
- Digestive issues such as IBS, acid reflux, nausea, abdominal pain, and constipation
- Pregnancy support including treatments for nausea, pain, and labor preparation
- Cold and flu
- Allergies
- Autoimmune diseases
- Concerns around skin and hair health
Specialty Acupuncture:
Facial Rejuvenation is a specialized acupuncture protocol that uses points on the face and body, along with cupping and gua sha, to promote healthy circulation in the skin, even out skin tone and color, lift sagging areas, and reduce facial puffiness.
FAQ
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin and cause minimal to no discomfort upon insertion. Once the needles have been inserted, many people feel a deep sense of calm and relaxation; some even take a nap!
This answer varies for each person and their specific health history and concerns. In general, the more chronic the concern, the longer it will take to treat. After a comprehensive intake and exam, your acupuncturist will recommend an initial treatment plan, typically 1-2 treatments for 2-6 weeks, and will reassess as needed, reducing the frequency of treatments as you make progress. Once you are feeling better, they will recommend monthly maintenance treatments to maintain the balance in your system and to prevent new concerns from appearing.
An Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation session, which includes facial acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha, is $120 per session. At the first session, there will be an additional new patient fee of $60. Since we recommend a series of weekly treatments for the best results, we offer discounted package pricing: an 8-treatment package is $860 (10% discount), and a 12-treatment package is $1150 (20% discount).
While our office is located in SE Portland, Oregon, many of our patients travel from the greater Portland area, including Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Milwaukie, Happy Valley, and Oregon City, for in-office visits and procedures. We also offer virtual office visits, allowing us to provide care to anyone seeking care in Oregon, except for procedures, which must be performed in-office.
