Chinese Medicine Doctor in Portland, OR

At Urban Wellness Group, we are proud to offer the time-tested wisdom of Chinese medicine as part of our integrative approach to health. Also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this ancient system has been developed and refined in China over thousands of years. TCM views the body as a complex, interconnected system, recognizing that physical, mental, and emotional well-being are all deeply linked.
 
Central to Chinese medicine is the concept of “Qi” (pronounced “chee”)—the vital energy that circulates through the body along specific pathways known as meridians. Our practitioners are trained to assess and balance the flow of Qi, as well as harmonize the dynamic forces of Yin and Yang, which are crucial to maintaining health.
 
When the flow of Qi is disrupted, or when Yin and Yang fall out of balance, symptoms and illness can occur. Our team utilizes a variety of traditional techniques—including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and therapeutic massage (tui na)—to restore harmony and promote the body’s natural healing abilities. We also encourage practices such as tai chi and qigong to support ongoing wellness.

Diagnosis in Chinese medicine is highly individualized and holistic. At Urban Wellness Group, our practitioners take the time to observe, listen, and understand your unique constitution by examining the tongue and pulse, as well as exploring your lifestyle, emotions, and overall health history. We don’t just treat symptoms—we aim to address the root causes of imbalance and disease.
 
Whether you’re seeking support for specific health concerns or looking to enhance your overall vitality, Chinese medicine at Urban Wellness Group can be integrated with other medical treatments for a truly holistic approach. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal wellness, prevent future illness, and empower you on your journey to health.
 

At Urban Wellness Group, we recognize the value of Chinese medicine as a holistic approach to health and healing. Our experienced practitioners integrate time-tested therapies—including acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, and dietary guidance—into personalized care plans designed to address a wide spectrum of health concerns.

Chinese medicine is commonly sought for the management of chronic pain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and migraines. It also offers significant benefits for those facing digestive issues, including irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, constipation, and indigestion.

Respiratory health is another area where Chinese medicine can make a positive impact. It can support individuals dealing with conditions like asthma, allergies, sinusitis, and persistent cough through traditional therapies. Women’s health concerns such as menstrual irregularities, PMS, infertility, and menopausal symptoms can also be effectively managed with a combination of Eastern and Western approaches.

Mental and emotional well-being is a core focus in Chinese medicine, and it is commonly used to help manage stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, promoting balance and resilience in patients.

In addition to these areas, Chinese medicine is also recommended to enhance immune function, alleviate fatigue, and assist with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorders. This approach is often integrated with conventional medicine, offering a comprehensive path to health and wellness.

Your health and safety are a priority, and it’s always encouraged to consult with a qualified healthcare team to determine the most suitable treatments for your needs. Chinese medicine provides a holistic approach to achieving optimal health by combining the best of both Eastern and Western medicine.

At Urban Wellness Group, acupuncture is a cornerstone of our integrative approach to health and wellness. Rooted in Chinese medicine, acupuncture is designed to restore balance and activate the body’s natural healing abilities. According to traditional Chinese medical theory, our vitality—or qi—flows through pathways called meridians. Disruptions or imbalances in this flow are believed to contribute to illness, pain, and other health concerns.
 
Our licensed acupuncture practitioners are highly trained in both traditional and modern techniques. During your session, we carefully select specific acupuncture points based on a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, health history, and underlying imbalances. Using fine, sterile needles, we stimulate these points to help unblock stagnant energy, support the smooth movement of qi, and harmonize your body’s systems.
 
Acupuncture is used to address a wide variety of health concerns, including acute and chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, fatigue, and respiratory conditions. We often combine acupuncture with other time-honored therapies, such as herbal medicine, cupping, and personalized nutrition recommendations, to provide holistic, individualized care. Many of our patients also choose acupuncture as part of their preventive health routine, supporting their immune system and overall resilience.
 
While the roots of acupuncture are grounded in the principles of energy flow and balance, modern scientific research suggests that acupuncture may also work by stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, thereby promoting circulation and the body’s production of natural pain-relieving chemicals. We embrace both traditional wisdom and contemporary understanding to offer effective, patient-centered care. We are committed to treating not just symptoms, but the root causes of illness, supporting our patients on their path to long-term wellness.

At Urban Wellness Group, we are proud to offer herbal treatments rooted in the rich tradition of Chinese medicine. For thousands of years, these therapies have promoted health and balance through a holistic approach—an approach we bring to each of our patients in Portland and the surrounding community.
 
One of the key advantages of Chinese herbal medicine is our focus on treating the whole person, not just individual symptoms. Our experienced practitioners carefully assess your unique constitution, health history, and current concerns to develop personalized herbal formulas. This individualized care ensures that your treatment is specifically designed to address underlying imbalances, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
 
Many of our patients appreciate that Chinese herbal remedies, when prescribed by our trained professionals, are generally gentle and have fewer side effects compared to many conventional medications. Herbal medicine can be safely and effectively used for a wide range of concerns—from acute conditions like digestive upsets and common colds to chronic issues such as allergies, insomnia, stress, and menstrual irregularities.
 
Prevention is another cornerstone of our practice. By incorporating Chinese herbal medicine into your wellness plan, you can strengthen your immune system, boost vitality, and decrease your risk of future illness. Our practitioners draw on both the long history and modern research supporting herbal medicine, ensuring that your care is safe, effective, and based on the latest knowledge.
