Statement of Purpose

Our purpose is to help as many people as possible to get well naturally. Our clients get relief from symptoms and correction of underlying health concerns, which helps them reach their optimal level of health. We inspire them about Oriental Medicine which has worked for millennia, and motivate them to maintain their health naturally.

For many clients this is a life changing process. We strive to continually improve all aspects of our services to have clients so satisfied with their level of health that they naturally refer friends and family to us. In support of our goal to make our services available to as many people as possible, we offer various treatment and payment options.

Furthermore, Cascade Acupuncture Center provides a refuge for clients, a place of beauty, kindness and compassion, where they can heal and renew themselves in a supportive environment.

If you have questions about Acupuncture, Massage or Chinese Herbs, our staff is always willing to answer your questions.

Cascade Acupuncture Center

Cascade Acupuncture Center’s health care approach is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is an ancient medical system that has been practiced for more than five thousand years.

The modalities we offer at Cascade Acupuncture Center are Acupuncture treatments, Massage and Custom Chinese Herbal Formulas.

We currently have over 200 Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulas and Single Herbs in our Chinese Herbal Pharmacy, ready to serve the people in the Columbia Gorge to get well naturally.

Acupuncture treatments are gentle, safe and effective, based on the 3000 year old practice of Chinese Medicine. We offer a General Acupuncture Practice with a focus on the treatment of pain. Our treatment style uses tiny sterile needles placed mainly below the elbows and knees that often offer instant results. This style ofAcupuncture also enables us to treat in our unique and comfortable recliner chairs with heated massage pads in addition to treatments on massage tables.
