Welcome to Cascade Acupuncture Center

Many of our clients tell us they hesitated for a long time before trying Acupuncture. Once they experienced the great improvements to their health, through a natural modality, they wished they would have seen us first! Now they are sending us their friends and family, which is the greatest complement of all.
The modalities we offer at Cascade Acupuncture Center are Acupuncture treatments 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.
Many clients choose Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs, achieving the best results. Some conditions are better suited to be treated with Acupuncture alone. Some clients prefer to only use Acupuncture treatments, others only use Chinese Herbs. We are happy to work with you and your preferences and financial situation.
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 of Acupuncture also enables us to treat in our unique and comfortable recliner chairs with heated massage pads in addition to treatments on massage tables. Please read about us to learn more about our individual practitioners.
Still feeling hesitant? Please read about Acupuncture and our client testimonials to learn more about how Acupuncture might be able to help your health condition. We also offer a Free Consultation where you have an opportunity to talk more about your specific needs.
We bill all health insurances with Acupuncture benefits as well as auto insurance and Worker’s Compensation claims. Generally no MD referral is required to see an Acupuncturist through insurance. We offer insurance verification as well as a sliding fee scale and 0% interest monthly payment plans to make our treatments available to as many people as possible.
If you have questions about Acupuncture or Chinese Herbs, our staff and Licensed Acupuncturists are always willing to answer your questions.
We look forward to helping you reach your highest level of health.

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.
