Skin doesn’t exist in isolation. Its appearance is influenced by circulation, inflammation levels, hormonal balance, digestion, sleep, and stress—factors that acupuncture has addressed for thousands of years. This is why microneedling works best when it’s integrated into a broader treatment plan rather than treated as a standalone fix. Read this article by following the link below.

January Microneedling Special --Offer expires January 31 -- For those curious about experiencing microneedling within an integrative, nervous-system-aware setting, Forest Park Wellness is offering a limited-time January special:

Face Only – $75 off
Face & Neck – $100 off
Face, Neck & Décolletage – $125 off

Microneedling doesn’t have to feel cosmetic-first. When approached as communication rather than correction, it becomes another way to support the body’s natural capacity for repair, balance, and resilience.

The holidays arrive quietly, wrapped in shorter days, steady rain, and a calendar that feels full before we’ve had time to catch our breath. By the time the New Year appears, many people are already tired—physically, emotionally, and mentally—wondering how they’re supposed to “reset” when they feel depleted rather than refreshed. In Chinese medicine, this feeling makes perfect sense. Read this article below. https://forestparkwellness.com/grounding-warmth-and-renewal-with-acupuncture-chinese-medicine/

Acupuncture can be especially supportive during this seasonal transition, helping you enter the New Year feeling grounded rather than depleted. Call us at (503) 272-6646, or book online to get started!

A winter reset doesn’t require dramatic resolutions or extreme changes. In fact, the most effective resets tend to be subtle—restoring balance, improving sleep, easing tension, and supporting the body’s natural rhythms.

The shift to autumn offers a natural pause—a chance to breathe deeply, reflect, and restore. Acupuncture and Tuina massage can help you synchronize your body with the season’s rhythm, supporting both physical health and emotional ease.

Just as trees shed their leaves to prepare for renewal, autumn invites you to release what no longer serves you—stress, tension, old habits—and make space for vitality. With mindful care and a little help from Chinese medicine, you can embrace the season’s changes with balance and calm. Read the full story below.

Let’s be honest. Portlanders have been through a lot. Between shifting political climates, endless construction, and the surreal mix of frog costumes, spontaneous dance lines, and alarming disruptions to our normally peaceful downtown, life here can feel like an ongoing social experiment. But underneath the headlines, there’s real fatigue — physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Living in a state of constant uncertainty can leave your nervous system in overdrive. Even those who have never set foot at a protest can feel the collective stress of a community constantly asked to stay strong, stay informed, and stay kind in the middle of the storm.

Let’s face it—our skin works hard for us. It protects us from the sun, pollution, and the stresses of daily life. But over time, that hard work shows up as fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture. While there are plenty of quick-fix options out there, not everyone wants to go the route of injections or harsh chemical treatments. That’s where collagen-inducing therapies like microneedling and nano-needling come in. Read the full story below.

Many patients turn to acupuncture because they want effective pain relief without heavy reliance on medication. Others are looking for a complementary therapy that works alongside physical therapy, chiropractic care, or conventional medical treatment.

Because the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals like beta endorphins rise and fall over time, regular sessions often provide the best results. Some patients experience relief after just one or two visits, while others—especially those with long-standing or complex pain—may benefit from a longer treatment plan.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element—a symbol of grounding, nourishment, and emotional balance. It’s the season of the Spleen and Stomach meridians, which govern digestion and the transformation of food into energy (or qi).

When these systems are in balance, you feel energized, clear-headed, and well-nourished. When they’re not? You may feel bloated, sluggish, foggy, or emotionally unsettled—sometimes with a vague sense of scarcity or anxiety. That’s where acupuncture comes in. Kaz works with the body’s natural rhythms to support the organs and meridians most active during this season, helping clients feel more balanced and resilient as summer winds down.

Late summer—especially here in the Pacific Northwest—has its own rhythm. The days are still warm, but you might already feel a shift in the air as autumn quietly approaches. And with that seasonal transition, many of us feel just a little “off.” If that sounds like you, you’re not alone—...
