Natasha Colburn, LAc

"Natasha has been practicing acupuncture since 1999. She currently has been using Kiiko Style, which uses specific palpation techniques to determine the deeper structural and constitutional imbalances which may underlie a patient’s symptoms."

About Natasha Colburn

Schedule with Natasha

Natasha has been practicing acupuncture happily since 1999. She treats all manner of conditions with a variety of techniques including acupuncture, massage, gua sha, cupping and herbal medicine.

She is very excited to have studied Kiiko Style Acupuncture with Kiiko Matsumoto and Monica Kobylecka. Kiiko Style uses specific palpation techniques to determine the deeper structural and constitutional imbalances which may underlie a patient’s symptoms. Treating the deeper levels, along with the symptoms, helps to cut through complex problems and brings a more complete and lasting healing. Patients (and she!) are often amazed and delighted at the immediate changes that can be felt during a treatment.

When not at the clinic, she may be seen around Sellwood, walking Lucy the Three-Legged Dog with her brilliant son and superhero husband. She loves good food with good friends, eggbeaters, art and a knitting project to lose herself in. Her most recent project involves learning and reciting the entire Star Wars Saga because her kid, for some reason, must know the details, though the movies are too scary for him watch.

Conditions Commonly Treated

  • Emotional Health: stress, anxiety, life transitions, depression, PTSD, and the emotional component of chronic pain and/or disease
  • Sexual Health: low libido, pregnancy and post partum health, fertility enhancement for men & women, PMS, hormonal shifts
  • Digestive Health: Acid reflux/GERD, IBS, constipation/diarrhea, diverticulitis, nausea, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s.
  • Immune System: Asthma, recurring infections or viral pathogens, autoimmune diseases, cancer treatment support

What My Patients Say

In October I was in a horrible car accident. I ended up with whiplash in three places, one in my neck and two in my upper back. After three months of physical therapy and 16 ibuprofen a day, I came to the conclusion that at 53 years oldI might just have to live with the pressure and pain for the rest of my life…[After acupuncture] I felt relief after the first week…I look forward to the gardening I love and feeling painless. Thanks Natasha for giving me back my pain-free health.

 

–Car accident patient

The neurosurgeon said I had two weeks before I had to have back surgery to avoid nerve damage. After three treatments, I got up from the table and realized the pain was gone! I actually wept with relief. I’m really glad I came in . The acupuncture has allowed me the chance to heal without surgery.

–Back pain patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

Tasha has been my caregiver for the last 6 years, she is not only an excellent acupuncturist, she is also a wonderful person. I refer many of my patients to her and all of them share the same opinion. I highly recommend Tasha not only as a patient but as a physician who has seen the benefits and excellent results that she has achieved with patients that I have referred to her.

 

–Natasha’s patient

Natasha is AMAZING! I was a little skeptical at first to try acupuncture but after many months of daily chronic headaches I was ready to try anything. I am soooo happy to share that my daily headaches are no more and I feel like I can’t thank her enough for the incredible work she’s done. Natasha cares so much about her clients and is very personable. I HIGHLY recommend Natasha for all of your acupuncture services.

Injury Prevention Pt 3 Finally, the secret ingred Injury Prevention Pt 3

Finally, the secret ingredient in FoRM’s injury prevention formula…#dryneedling!

Dry-needling acupuncture goes after small areas of tightly bound fibers within muscle and fascia that eventually turn into larger areas of tightness & tension, leading to an injury when pushed too far!

Signs you need some injury prevention therapy:
- joint pain (ie knee pain) during activity
- lingering soreness after activity
- altered gait or restricted movement during & following activity
- early muscle fatigue

At FoRM, we offer this service as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with relaxing manual therapy 💆🏽‍♂️ to boost the benefits (as pictured in this video)!

Remember, you don’t need to be a pro-athlete to benefit from Injury Prevention!

Muscle for Longevity + Injury Prevention Your mus Muscle for Longevity + Injury Prevention

Your muscle mass is one of the biggest predictors of how well you’ll age and maintain a high quality of life through every decade.

Being strong protects your joints, connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) and bones against injury.

Beyond the physical benefit muscle improves your health in many other ways— metabolically, cognitively, and hormonally:

🧍 Fewer injuries + falls
🧠 Better brain health
🫀 Cardiovascular protection, reduce risk for heart disease 
⚖️ Improve metabolism, healthy weight maintenance and prevent diabetes

Injury prevention part 2 🙌🏽 Recovery sessio Injury prevention part 2 🙌🏽

Recovery session one day AFTER a soccer game. ⚽️

Goal is to reduce tension in soft tissues and mobilize restricted areas that arise during competition/performance, restoring healthy movement patterns going into the next training & game cycle.🏃‍♀️

Started off with 30 min of manual therapy to release tight hip flexors (#psoasrelease) and quads as well as chiropractic adjustment to help loosen up a locked up lower back. 

Second-half of the appointment included 30 min of more traditional massage work to relax & release full-body tension that occurs as a result of physical play going up against other players and impact from running up and down the field.

You don’t need to be a professional athlete to benefit from injury prevention care — schedule with Dr. Rebecca Shapiro DC (use link in bio) for the 30/30 Chiropractic & Massage combo session.

Injury prevention part 1. This is what injury pre Injury prevention part 1.

This is what injury prevention looks like for a 40-something soccer player who likes to train hard (sprint intervals and heavy-ish weights 3-4/wk) in between games and has a history of partial quad, hamstring and calf tears.

Chiropractic care with @drpaulmolina about 2 hours after a hard training session includes:

🙌🏽 Soft tissue mobilization/ manual therapy to release tension throughout the muscle and fascia in the overworked areas like hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves.

💪 Chiropractic adjustments to improve mobility of hips and spine joint to allow for better mechanics.

🙆‍♀️ PT exercises for homework to offset the regular wear and tear.

Staying active and injury-free requires a concerted effort but so worth it! No injuries this soccer season!

Prevention is the best medicine!

Prevention, the best medicine for injuries! We be Prevention, the best medicine for injuries!

We believe the best approach to injury is prevention. Whether you're a weekend warrior, a dedicated athlete, a busy parent or simply looking to stay active and pain-free, regular care can make all the difference.

Our injury-preventing services—dry needling acupuncture (with or without manual therapy), chiropractic care with manual therapy—help maintain mobility, correct imbalances and faulty movement patterns, and keep your body resilient.

Outside of the clinic, building muscle on your own time is a must if you want to set yourself up for injury resiliency. Strong muscles stabilize joints, support better movement patterns, and helps buffer the physical wear and tear that can lead to injury.
