Following your diagnosis, acupuncture needles are inserted into the body at specific points along acupuncture “meridians”, or pathways, which stimulates the body’s healing. Electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations.
According to ancient theory, acupuncture allows energy to flow to areas where it is deficient, and away from areas where it is in excess. In this way, acupuncture regulates and restores a harmonious energetic balance in the body. Your treatment may include points on your hands, arms, legs, feet, head and/or neck. Since acupuncture channels flow across the entire body it is possible to treat neck problems, for example with points on the hands and feet. You will not need to undress, but please wear loose clothing that can be comfortably rolled up if needed.

Deschutes Acupuncture offers cupping for fast relief in 30 minute sessions. Cupping can relieve back and neck pain, improve body movement, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and many more issues. We practice authentic Chinese Fire Cupping.
Cupping uses specialized glass or silicone cups shaped like a small round jar. In strategic areas of the body, the cups are placed to suction to the skin using mechanical devices or flammable liquids that are lit to allow heat to naturally remove the air from the cup. The suction from the cups improve flow by allowing the fluids of the body to move more freely.
Cupping therapy has numerous health benefits, some of which include: Increases circulation to release muscle tension, pain, and inflammation, stimulates the lymphatic system to release built up toxins (waste metabolism, lactic acid build up), clears respiratory congestion and alleviates asthma, engages the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress and anxiety, reduces inflammatory markers.
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses heat therapy near the surface of the skin with the intention to help dispel certain pathogenic influences from the body. Moxa is made from an herb called Chinese mugwort. This involves burning moxa and applying the resulting heat to specific points on the body to help improve circulation and heal the body. Moxibustion involves burning moxa on top of the acupuncture needle, or we may also use moxa sticks to hold over the areas.
Some benefits of moxibustion include: reducing pain and inflammation, increasing healing time from injuries, arthritis, migraines, menstrual issues, digestive disorders such as ulceraitve colitis, and boosting immunity and protection from the flu.
We offer gua sha in 30 minute sessions or with acupuncture. Gua sha uses a massage tool to help circulation by scrapping the skin, using short or long strokes to stimulate circulation and blood flow.
Gua Sha can benefit the immune system and reduce inflammation. It's often used to relieve muscle and joint pain such as back pain, tendon strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Other benefits include relief with menopause, headaches, and insomnia.
The technique is typically used on one's back, neck, arms and/ or legs to try and move stagnant energy. The tool is smooth edged and causes little discomfort.
At Deschutes Acupuncture, we integrate traditional acupuncture with advanced electro-stimulation techniques to enhance results — especially for chronic and orthopedic pain conditions. Electro-acupuncture (often called E-Stim) involves applying a gentle electrical current to acupuncture needles. The stimulation is controlled, comfortable, and precisely calibrated to support tissue healing, modulate nerve signaling and regulation, release endorphins, improve nerve regeneration, and pain reduction.
It allows us to deliver consistent stimulation to specific points — something that can be especially effective for stubborn or chronic conditions.
Microneedling is a procedure by the acupuncturist that uses small needles to prick the skin to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, and toned skin. Microneedling is used for many dermatologic issues such as wrinkles, various scars, large pores, and brown spots on the skin. Microneedling facials treat directly to the area that's affected which is proven to increase collagen levels without causing permanent damage to the skin.
The microneedling treatments take about 75 minutes and will usually require additional treatments over time. Get in touch with us to see how we might be able to help!
