We are in network with most major insurance companies. It is always a good idea to verify with your plan prior to your appointment. Some companies we are in network with include: United Healthcare, Regency Blue Cross Blue Shield, Providence, OHP/Care Oregon, Aetna and Moda. 

2 / Does acupuncture hurt? 

The acupuncture we practice here is with the thinnest needles available and most people describe it as painless. If you ever are uncomfortable in any way, we will make an adjustment so that you feel at ease. In fact, many folks come to us for our gentle painless style of treatment. 

3 / What do I wear to my treatment? 

Please wear or bring loose fitting clothing such as a tank top and shorts or sweatpants. 

4 / How long is a treatment?

For the first visit, please allow 1.5 hrs total. This gives us time to review your medical history and goals for treatment in addition to acupuncture. Subsequent visits are 1 hr. 

5 / How will I feel after my treatment? 

Typically patients describe feeling more relaxed and centered with improved sleep and digestion. If you are coming for a longstanding pain condition, it may take several sessions to be free of pain; however, there are cases where folks feel better right away!
