Discover the Healing Power of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance across physical, mental, and emotional systems. At Columbia River Natural Medicine, acupuncture is offered within the broader framework of East Asian Medicine, which includes bodywork, herbal medicine, moxibustion, and nutrition and lifestyle guidance. Treatments combine classical theory with modern, evidence-informed approaches to support whole-person health.
Acupuncture has a rich history in the United States, including its use in community-based healing movements in the 1970s, where it supported addiction recovery and mental health in underserved communities. Today, it continues to be a versatile tool not only for pain management and injury recovery, but also for supporting emotional regulation, stress resilience, sleep, digestion, and hormonal balance.
Acupuncture is safe for patients of all ages and can include both needle and non-needle techniques, depending on each person’s needs and preferences. Every session is guided by clear communication, comfort, and consent. Treatments are tailored to your goals—some sessions are calming and restorative, while others may bring deeper physical sensations or emotional release as the body processes held tension or patterns. Each session is approached with care and respect for your experience, making acupuncture approachable, effective, and empowering as a tool to support authentic healing and restore balance.
