BEAVERTON, OR, November 24, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Oregon's Luna Acupuncture & Wellness continues to redefine natural healing by delivering transformative results for individuals living with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and chemotherapy-related side effects. The clinic, founded by Dr. James Carter, has become a sanctuary for those who have long struggled to find relief through traditional medicine. With clinics in Astoria and Beaverton /Hillsboro, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness blends ancient Eastern practices with modern, evidence-based care to address complex pain conditions and restore balance to the body.

For many patients, the journey to relief begins after years of frustration. Fibromyalgia, characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, affects millions of Americans, with few lasting treatment options. Chemotherapy, while life-saving, often leaves patients dealing with neuropathy, nausea, and extreme exhaustion. Recognizing this gap in care, Dr. Carter and his team have created custom treatment protocols focused on providing integrative and holistic treatments that target both the physical and emotional layers of pain.
"Our goal is not just to manage symptoms but to help the body remember how to heal itself," said Dr. Carter. "When we look at pain through both an energetic and neurological lens, we can offer a pathway that supports true recovery and is an excellent complement to all other treatments."

A Patient-Centered Approach to Complex Pain

At the heart of Luna Acupuncture & Wellness lies a simple philosophy: healing begins with listening. Every patient's experience is unique, and understanding the root causes of their pain is essential. The clinic offers comprehensive consultations, where Dr. Carter designs personalized treatment plans that combine acupuncture, auricular therapy, cupping, herbal and nutritional support, and lifestyle recommendations.

This personalized care model has produced life-changing results. Dr. Carter recently worked with a patient who had struggled with fibromyalgia for more than a decade. After just five sessions, the patient reported a remarkable 50 percent reduction in pain and fatigue. "When someone finally feels relief after years of suffering, it's not just about physical healing—it's about restoring hope," said Dr. Carter.

Luna Acupuncture & Wellness has earned a reputation for helping those who feel they have run out of options. By integrating Eastern medicine's holistic understanding of energy flow with the diagnostic insights of Western science, the clinic has become a trusted partner in long-term wellness.

Bridging Eastern Wisdom and Western Insight

Dr. Carter's expertise lies in combining time-honored traditions with modern evidence-based methods. Having earned both a Masters and Doctoral Degree in Acupuncture, he has deepened his specialization through modalities such as auricular tmedicine—an advanced form of both diagnosis and treatment that uses points on the ear to treat imbalances throughout the body. This technique has proven especially effective for neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced nerve pain.

"Many cancer survivors come to us after completing their treatments," explained Dr. Carter. "They're grateful to be in remission but struggling with the lingering effects of chemotherapy. Acupuncture helps restore nerve function, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, which allows them to regain energy and quality of life."

The practice's success has attracted attention from both patients and healthcare professionals seeking complementary approaches to chronic illness. Luna Acupuncture & Wellness has become a bridge between traditional and modern medicine, offering compassionate care rooted in measurable results.

Fibromyalgia: A Path Forward

For those living with fibromyalgia, the condition can feel overwhelming. It affects not only physical comfort but also emotional well-being, often leading to depression and isolation. Luna Acupuncture & Wellness approaches fibromyalgia treatment with a multidimensional lens—addressing pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and mental health together.

By stimulating specific acupuncture points, the treatment helps regulate the nervous system, improve blood flow, and balance neurotransmitters associated with mood and energy. Many patients report better sleep, improved digestion, and a renewed sense of vitality after several sessions.

Dr. Carter emphasizes that consistency is key. "We encourage patients to think of healing as a process rather than an event. The body adapts and recalibrates over time. When we treat regularly, we create momentum toward lasting wellness."

Supporting Cancer Survivors with Compassion

One of the most meaningful areas of Dr. Carter's work is supporting patients recovering from chemotherapy. Chemotherapy side effects can persist long after treatment ends, leaving survivors struggling to resume daily life. Through gentle, targeted acupuncture sessions, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness helps reduce nerve pain, stabilize energy levels, and support emotional wellness.

Many patients describe the treatments as both grounding and uplifting. "Acupuncture helps reawaken the body's natural rhythm," said Dr. Carter. "When patients feel more connected and less burdened by fatigue or pain, they begin to truly recover—not just survive."

In addition to in-clinic care, the team at Luna Acupuncture & Wellness educates patients about nutrition, mindfulness, and breathing practices that can enhance recovery. The goal is to empower individuals to take an active role in their own healing journey.

Healing Beyond the Treatment Room

Luna Acupuncture & Wellness believes that healing should extend beyond the clinic walls. The practice donates monthly to LovePeaceHarmony.org, a nonprofit organization that supports humanitarian projects worldwide. This ongoing contribution reflects the clinic's broader mission of compassion and service.

"Every needle we place, every conversation we have—it's about connecting with the human spirit," Dr. Carter shared. "Our donations are simply an extension of that philosophy. True wellness isn't limited by geography or circumstance. It's a ripple effect that starts with one act of care."

A Decade of Healing and Growth

As Luna Acupuncture & Wellness approaches its tenth anniversary in 2025, its impact continues to grow across Oregon. The practice remains a trusted destination for those seeking natural solutions to pain, stress, and chronic illness. With two thriving locations, Dr. Carter is looking at new ways to expand access to care and welcoming new people with free 15-minute consultations, giving individuals a chance to explore acupuncture in a supportive, pressure-free environment.

Looking ahead, Dr. Carter hopes to continue raising awareness about the benefits of integrative care. "There is still so much misunderstanding around acupuncture," he noted. "People may think it's mysterious or not sure it works, but at the end of the day the results can speak for themselves. We see lives change every week."

For those suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or chemotherapy side effects, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness offers not only relief but also a renewed sense of possibility. Through compassion, expertise, and a deep respect for the body's wisdom, Dr. Carter and his team continue to lead Oregon toward a future where healing is both science and art—a journey from pain to progress.
