Welcome to Cascade Acupuncture!

We have two locations in the Columbia Gorge offering treatments Monday through Saturday. Both offices are wheelchair accessible and have marked off street customer parking. Our Hood River office is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, our office in The Dalles is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

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. Please see about us to learn more about our individual practitioners. 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.

We carry a full line of Chinese Herbal Formulas which treat many different conditions naturally and can greatly enhance the results of your acupuncture care. We also offer nutritional products, including Greens First to enhance your well being and speed your healing process.

We bill all health insurances with Acupuncture benefits as well as auto insurance and Workman'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 through Care Credit.

Interested in a Free Health Lecture for your work or organization? We will come to you or can hold lectures in the Bamboo Room, at our
Hood River location for you. The Bamboo Room is also available to rent for your own meetings, classes and workshops. Please call for more information.

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. Are you hesitant? Please see about acupuncture and client testimonials and feel free to give us a call for more information about how Acupuncture might be able to help your health condition.

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.
