Many patients arrive here after years of searching for answers.
They have diagnoses — sometimes multiple — but no clear roadmap forward. They’ve been told “your labs are normal,” or “this is just how it is,” yet their symptoms persist.
At Deschutes Acupuncture, we specialize in treating complex, chronic, and multi-system conditions through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine — identifying patterns of systemic imbalance rather than isolated symptoms.
WE COMMONLY SUPPORT PAITENTS IN BEND EXPERIENCING:
- Digestive disorders (IBS, bloating, chronic reflux)
- MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)
- POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
- Vertigo and dizziness
- Chronic fatigue
- Insomnia
- Migraine disorders
- Autoimmune conditions
- Long-standing inflammatory patterns
- Multi-system dysregulation
These conditions often overlap — and require a comprehensive, coordinated approach.
This care is for individuals who:
- Have received a diagnosis but feel unsure what to do next
- Have seen multiple specialists without lasting improvement
- Experience symptoms across multiple systems (digestive, neurological, cardiovascular, hormonal)
- Feel dismissed or told their symptoms are “stress-related”
- Want a root-cause, whole-system evaluation
We work collaboratively with primary care physicians, specialists, and functional medicine providers when appropriate.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, chronic illness reflects long-standing system imbalance.
Rather than isolating a condition label like MCAS or POTS, we assess:
- Underlying deficiency patterns
- Inflammatory heat
- Damp accumulation
- Qi and Blood stagnation
- Nervous system dysregulation
- Constitutional weakness
Digestion, immune function, sleep, circulation, and stress physiology are deeply interconnected.
The body is treated as an operating system — not a collection of disconnected diagnoses.
Treatment may include:
- Acupuncture to regulate immune response and autonomic function
- Electro-acupuncture to support neurological and cardiovascular regulation
- Custom Chinese herbal formulas tailored to your specific pattern
- Digestive and nutritional guidance
- Nervous system stabilization strategies
Sessions are adjusted based on how your body presents that day. With complex conditions, flexibility matters.
For complex and chronic conditions:
- 6–8 initial sessions
- 1–2 treatments per week to build momentum
Progress is reassessed regularly. Many patients transition to:
- Ongoing support during flare cycles
- Monthly stabilization care
- Seasonal immune and nervous system support
Chronic illness often requires layered care — not quick fixes.
When people live with chronic illness, they are often given labels — but not a plan.
We provide a structured, individualized roadmap.
You will leave your appointment with a clear treatment strategy, realistic expectations, and a written plan for how we move forward.
Patients frequently share that for the first time, their full story was considered — not just one symptom at a time.
