5/5
Liz, within moments of meeting me, identified exactly which muscle was injured and where. She knew exactly where to put the needles for immediate pain relief, and it's no exaggeration to say that I limped in and walked out. I continue to see Liz regularly to treat some chronic issues and the inevitable new pain of the month. The office staff at IGH&W are all super friendly and I 10/10 would recommend them. Especially Liz for acupuncture.

Wonderful overall wellness center, my daughter has received acupuncture treatments by Drs.Tanya and Emma, both highly effective and comprehensive. Tanya seems to be very tuned to issues of my daughter's sensitivity, Emma showed wonderful understanding of physiology of pain, also establishing very quick rapport with my teenager, addressing both the muscles and the emotions at the same time. Feels like a family center for us now.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Conditions Treated

Acupuncture FAQs

Yes! Modern research has verified and demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on many parts of the body.

Stimulation of trigger and motor points reduces pain, restores proper muscle firing and improves recovery times post-injury.

The musculoskeletal system, nervous system, immune system, cardiovascular system, and digestive system have all been shown to benefit from acupuncture.

By stimulating the body’s fascial planes and nerves, acupuncture helps to resolve pain, and improve sleep, digestive function, and your overall sense of well-being.

Chronic problems tend to require more treatment while, acute conditions tend to resolve more quickly. Your acupuncturist will recommend a schedule that is right for you.

Many patients love coming every week! Others get treatment more or less often, depending on their goals and symptoms.

 

The goal is to correct imbalances and improve function so that your condition is completely resolved. The amount of time the effects of acupuncture last depend on your age, symptoms, and other treatments you are receiving. After the first few treatments we’ll have a better idea of what your healing process will look like. 

No, the needles do not hurt. A skilled acupuncturist can adjust the treatment so that you feel almost nothing. While most people prefer to barely feel anything when needles are inserted others enjoy the deep sensation of having the needles slightly stimulated after insertion. Acupuncture needles are solid, flexible, and very, very thin

There are certain sensations associated with the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. These may include slight heaviness, pressure or traveling sensation along a area being treated. If any discomfort is experienced let us know right away and we can make it go away.

Your first visit is for a diagnostic consultation and treatment.

We will spend about 30 minutes going through health history and orthopedic assessment. After we gather all medically relevant information and answer any questions you have, we’ll begin treatment.

Please wear clothing that will allow us easy access to the areas being treated. Loose shorts and tops are something that are easy for us to work with. Any additional bedding that will make you more comfortable on the table is also encouraged.

Tuina Massage

Last Updated on May 10, 2024

Tuina massage is a Chinese style of massage that is used alongside acupuncture to treat a wide variety of health complaints. Tuina works along muscles and at specific acupuncture points to relieve pain and stiffness. At Inner Gate Acupuncture, our acupuncturists have all been trained to use tuina massage techniques to speed healing and quickly reduce pain. As tuina practitioners we diagnose using specific orthopedic exams and then work to correct any muscular or skeletal imbalances we discover.

Three types of pain that tuina massage benefits:

  • Muscle pain: back pain, shoulder pain, headaches

  • Joint pain: knee pain, neck pain, elbow pain

  • Acute traumas: sports injuries, car accidents, work related injuries

Tuina massage is designed to restore normal range of motion and increase blood circulation to painful joints and muscles. The types of conditions that tuina massage treats are generally muscular and structural in nature. Tuina massage uses deep tissue massage and active release techniques as well as joint mobilization and stretching. Massage promotes blood flow and allows irritated muscles to relax. This increases circulation to assist the body in detoxifying lactic acid and carbon dioxide from muscles. This metabolic waste can build up in damaged or overused muscles causing pain and slowing healing.

Ailments treated by tuina massage:

  • Headaches, neck pain, whiplash injury, shoulder pain

  • Low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, SI joint pain

  • Elbow pain, carpel tunnel syndrome

  • Knee pain and ankle sprain

All of our acupuncturists have spent years studying and practicing tuina massage in Portland and often incorporate it into their treatments for the best results.
