Acupuncture in Bend Oregon is offered at Deschutes Acupuncture using TCM. Following the Chinese Medicine diagnosis, acupuncture needles are inserted into the body at specific points along acupuncture "meridians, " or pathways, which stimulates the body's healing. According to ancient theory, acupuncture allows energy to flow to areas where it is deficient, and away from areas where it is in excess.
Deschutes Acupuncture has a great comprehensive Chinese herbal medicinary right here in Bend! Chinese herbs and herbal therapy is helpful in the treatment of illness, optimization of health, and prevention of disease. We carry many bulk herbs, as well as teapills, capsules, tablets, liniments, plasters, oils, salves and tinctures supporting the practice of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and patients in the Central Oregon area.
Deschutes Acupuncture offers cupping for fast relief in 30 minute sessions.

We practice authentic Chinese cupping therapy that is rooted in Traditional Chinese medicine.
Deschutes Acupuncture believes that everyone deserves to experience acupuncture and self care. We also know that it can be expensive and often you have to make the decision to opt out when prioritizing where your hard-earned dollars go. That's why we decided to introduce Karma Sunday! These one-on-one private acupuncture appointments are approximately 45 minutes long and offer you a chance to indulge in self-care!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Tipton for my Deschutes Acupuncture intake appointment (~100 minutes). I had not yet received services for acupuncture, cupping, and/or other traditional Chinese medicine thus far and was very curious to try it out for a few essentially chronic issues (e.g., worry/stress/anxiety, endometriosis, frequent GI discomfort, food sensitivities, neck/shoulder/back pain). I can safely say Dr. Tipton's expertise, warm approach, and thoughtful validation ensured my return for future services! I had no pain, felt incredibly safe, and fully appreciated the focus on why

I have been going to different acupuncturist for over 30 years. I have never found one so thorough and caring as I have with Dr. Crystal Ford! She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Chinese medicine and if I could give her an award for what she has been able to do for me just in one session, I would! Anybody going through any health issues or concerns, please go see her! The staff is wonderful as well!

I really enjoy my treatments with Dr. Ford. I have seen acupuncturists before and didn’t think acupuncture did anything for me. I initially wanted to see Dr. Ford for cupping and after one session I was ready to give acupuncture another try. She’s great! And acupuncture does significantly reduce my anxiety! I’m so thankful for these treatments and finding Deschutes Acupuncture.

I initially went to see Dr. Crystal Ford after suffering for several weeks with an acutely painful wrist/thumb and left the first treatment pain free. I have been going each week as peeling away the layers of chronic health concerns and watch each time as they start to resolve. I am very impressed with the high level of knowledge, attentiveness, compassionate and thorough service I have received. It is so refreshing to meet a health provider really cares and who goes above and beyond at every appointment.

I can't say enough about how much Crystal has helped me. I went to her for shoulder pain and through her diagnosis, she treated me for excess heat in the body. I found out I had to quit eating raw vegetables and drinking cold water. I was so proud of myself for eating so many salads and had to quit it. I also drank lots of really cold water. I wasn't sure how I was going to quit those, but I have. I quickly lost 5 pounds just by changing to cooked vegetables and drinking room temperature water.
