Acupuncture Services
Chinese medicine is centered around the idea of balance; Yin and Yang. This concept represents the balance of energy in our body, mind, and spirit and determines our overall health. When we are out of balance we experience pathology or dis-ease. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) facilitate restoring this balance within the body, helping us to live at our fullest potential.
In practical application this means gently stimulating the body’s energy points with tiny needles in order to relax muscles, bring relief from pain and calm anxiety. Modern acupuncture is supported by thousands of years of practical experience in the East, and is more commonly now being recommended by western physicians. If you suffer from pain (chronic or acute), anxiety or trauma, this gentle and effective medicine can help you.

Andrew Wildwood
Through working with my patients I have seen the impressive results that Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can have. I am grateful to be able to share the benefits of my extensive education with you. My degree comes from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine ranked the #1 OM graduate degree program in the country in 2016-2017 and many years prior. During the course of the 4-year full time program I completed over 1000 patient hours, more than 300 unique patient visits and several on and off-campus externships with experienced practitioners.
My background includes training in acupuncture and a wide array of Oriental medicine modalities including Shiatsu (Japanese energetic massage), Shonishin (Japanese pediatrics), nutrition, and meditation. I am licensed by the state of Oregon and also recognized by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) as a diplomat of Acupuncture.
Compassionately understanding and treating your unique health issues is of the utmost importance to me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how Acupuncture and TCM can benefit you. Together we can work toward achieving your health and wellness goals.
