At PDX Acupuncture we believe that acupuncture is fun, friendly and understandable medicine. Whether you are receiving a treatment from one of our practitioners at your workplace, at an event, or at our office downtown you will see our commitment to efficient, affordable acupuncture. Rooted in Chinese Medicine theory, Acupuncture is extremely vast in its effectiveness to help the body shift its way back to health.
There are not many disorders that acupuncture can't at least help with. Often, it can help your body shift into a healing space so specific and deep that your symptoms no longer exist. Some things are quick to turn around like a sprained ankle, a headache, shoulder tension from a long day at the computer, finding calm again after a stressful work week, and much more.

I love PDX Acupuncture so much! I have had the most positive experiences with Lara and Lovey. As a newbie to acupuncture, my mind was blown by the impact just one session can have. My body and mind feel at ease and my pain (back/knee/hip) has been dramatically reduced after a session. The space is very calming - almost like a spa - and I feel as if the staff truly wants to help me. It’s a stress free environment and they work so well with my insurance so there is never an issue when it comes to payment. I am genuinely so appreciative and cannot recommend them enough. I just got the Lala Bomb

I made an appointment at this place for acupuncture through my insurance. They told me I would pay the copay of 45 dollars for it. After the session they also charged separated for a 20 min massage at the end that I didn't request, making the appointment way more expensive. I complained and asked to talk about this and never got an answer. Not going back.

I’ve been getting needled by Lara for over a decade. I look forward to seeing her as much as I do getting the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture. I’ve come in for a variety of reasons including pain management, emotional support, digestive support and prenatal care. Every experience has been wonderful. I’m continually impressed by how quickly acupuncture can relieve chronic pain. I always ask myself “Why didn’t I come in sooner?” I also love all the supplements and teas available in the clinic. Lara really takes whole body and lifestyle approach to health. She is my first stop with

Lara is a gift! She's as knowledgeable as she is giving in her treatments. Everytime I leave an appointment with her, my body, mind, and spirit feel realigned, calm, and more balanced. I've done acupuncture for almost 20 years, have gone to a variety of practitioners, and she's the best practitioner I've seen. Thank you, Lara for loving your craft and giving so much to us!

Lara and her staff; Kelsey and Jane are truly 5 stars. They are always friendly, helpful and attentive to provide the best service possible. I’ve been going to PDX Acupunture for almost a year now, every two weeks and my experience is always a positive one. At times I think I’ve reach the best experience I’ll have and then the next time is even better. Thanks for being 5 star Lara, Kelsey and Jane!

Lara Dilkes is hands down the most caring and knowledgeable acupuncturist I have ever met. Walking into PDX Acupuncture is like walking into a warm home filled with loving family members and friends. You will find the very best treatment, kindness, and care at PDX Acupuncture. From their extraordinary front desk assistants to the way in which everybody goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, you won't find a more supportive environment to pursue treatment. For anyone struggling with any sort of issue, Lara will listen to you as if you were her own son or daughter. PDX Acupuncture is a life

I have been seeing Lara with PDX Acupuncture since September 2020 and always feel amazing after my treatment. I love going in and feel so welcome each time. She takes her time, listens to me and my body, and has some awesome teas and ointments. I feel like a new person after each treatment. I totally recommend PDX Acupuncture to all my friends and family.

Magical. Lara is magical. I've been coming to PDX Acupuncture for close to 3 years now and can not speak highly enough about Lara and her staff.
Lara is open and attentive to listening to your concerns. She truly cares about your health and wellbeing, and it shows with her treatments. Every time I leave her office, I feel like I've been healed. She makes sound recommendations and offers advice but never once has she pushed any sort of product or service.
Not only does Lara provide acupuncture, but she also makes the most incredibly healing herb mixtures and elixirs. I've started

I’ve had acupuncture treatments for a year and a half (every 2 weeks). I absolutely love it. Sometimes you get to a point where you feel like you’ve hit a plateau and you don’t think there is a way to get a new high. Well, I’ll tell you what, Dr. Lara certainly achieved a huge breakthrough for me and got my chi to a place I’ve never been. You’ve probably heard that being turned to Jello is a sign of an excellent session. How about if someone could turn you into slime? I mean think about it, Jello still holds a loose flimsy shape, but what does slime feel like? A sensation where your

This review is Looong overdue, but here goes. I am pretty healthy and athletic and could never really see myself going to acupuncture. Being a "Western Medicine" provider myself, I didn't see much merit in it and was mostly closed-minded. BUT, then I experienced a TBI and chronic concussion symptoms. I was desperate for something that could help relieve my symptoms and nothing in Western World was really kicking it. I decided to try acupuncture though I didn't expect much.
When showing up to their cool, modern little sanctuary of an office, I was a bit more optimistic. Lara

Incredible experience! From the moment I walked in the door for my first appointment, I felt taken care of. My acupuncturist had wonderful bedside manner and spent so much time with me beforehand truly understanding the symptoms for why I was seeking treatment. She also explained which points she was targeting and why, and helped me feel so relaxed. Then, the massage afterward was one of the best I’ve ever received! Couldn’t be happier with my service here and will be a lifelong client.

This is the best acupuncture I have ever experienced. Lara is a true healer and I am sure her practice partner is as good because the bar is very high here. Efficient booking, excellent communication, adorable soothing space, all kinds of elixirs and supplements for sale, as well as cute gifts. Lara is extremely intuitive and knowledgeable, honing in on chronic muscle and joint pain I’ve had for years, offering a fresh eye and very effective approach. I feel amazing every time I leave there. Her personality brightens your day, as a bonus.

I scheduled my chiropractic appointment after my acupuncture appointment with Lara and I had the best adjustment yet. I have finally found the winning combo of practitioners after many years of searching. Lara was amazing during my treatment. She was attentive to all my concerns and helped me with with items I didn't even know I needed to address.

Another successful and amazing treatment from Lara Dilkes L.Ac. at PDX Acupuncture! Her presence always astounds me. She enters the room and provides such a calm reassurance. Lara really listens to you as you describe what you are experiencing and then comes up with a plan to help you WITH you. She describes what she is going to do and what that modality will result in. As she places each needle she talks you through what sensations you should be feeling and modifies as needed. I have, and will continue to, recommended Lara and PDX Acupuncture to my family, friends, and coworkers. Thank you Lara

I have never had such a first time experience in all of my years of getting acupuncture. I've traveled all over and love receiving acupuncture but once a week, which means when I'm out of state or out of the country, I'm usually finding someone to receive treatment from no matter where I end up. Dr. Lara was amazing. I went in for a quick formula discussion and possible acupuncture. She didn't have time for acupuncture, but she did grant me a generous amount of time to consult on herbs. First off, she's extremely knowledgeable. Secondly, and most importantly, she understands

I love PDX Acupuncture. Lara is a true gem. She is so warm, knowledgeable, and so passionate about helping people feel better. She has helped me greatly with back pain through both cupping and acupuncture. Lara is masterful at her practice. She tailors each visit to my needs overall but also focuses in on how I am doing mentally and emotionally that day so that no matter how I feel coming into her office that day, I always leave feeling so good and zen'd out. She's the perfect blend of a friend and a heath practitioner, making the whole experience a breeze and not intimidating at all

I've received acupuncture off and on for several years, and can resoundingly say that Lara's treatments are some of the best Portland has to offer. After my first treatment, my chronic back pain was minimized, and I left with an overall sense of grounding and ease after a particularly stressful day.
Lara's bedside manner is simultaneously warm and thorough, and her online scheduling system makes setting up appointments a snap.
And did I mention, you get a luscious massage at the end of each session?!

Lara is the BEST! Her treatments have had such a positive impact on my life. I experience more restful sleep and wake up feeling reenergized and ready to take on the day. Her treatments have significantly reduced my anxiety and given me an overall sense of serenity. Before I came to Lara, I suffered from acne and my skin looked so pale. Now, people compliment me on my rosy glow!
Lara always greets me with a beautiful smile and a warm welcome. She is so kind and really listens and takes notes when we are chatting about what to work on for each session. I highly recommend Lara to anyone

I didn't know much about acupuncture when coming here, actually I never had it before. Yes, me with the tattoos all over her body was scared of the thought of someone putting a needle in her body who wasn't drawing blood. I've seen it done before and I never really "got" it, so I thought, why not?
I knew this was the place to me because Laura was so nice and understanding when I came there with my billion questions. We worked out a treatment plan and got to work. For those who don't know, acupuncture doesn't hurt and it's really relaxing (FYI: don&apos
