If you need acupuncture, but can’t afford even David’s sliding fee scale, check out the Oregon School of Oriental Medicine. You will get student practitioners who are supervised by the licensed teachers. Everything I have heard about the Student Intern Clinic is positive.

Oldest professional massage organization in the country, the AMTA provides advocacy for the massage profession, along with countinuing education classes, business building information, research on the massage therapy benefits, and other great resources. You can also use it to find a reputable therapist in your area. I found a wonderful therapist for my elderly mother in Ohio using their �Find A Massage Therapist� directory. The AMTA also offers wonderful liability insurance.

Dentistry

Yes, I have a dentist listed here. As we all know it is sometimes very hard to find a good dentist. Well I can heartily recommend Brock Van Gordon to you. I know Brock fairly well because as a student clinician he treated me for two years at the OHSU Dental School. Brock crafted and inserted over 8 gold inlays and onlays in my mouth. He uses the latest technology — no-pain, no-shot Dental Lasers and diagnostic lasering devices besides having a mercury free and 100% environmentally safe office.
