Natural Relief, Real Results: Luna Acupuncture and Wellness Expands Solutions for Fibromyalgia and Chemotherapy Side Effects

Astoria, Oregon, 23rd February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness is expanding its role as a trusted provider of holistic care in Oregon, offering renewed hope to individuals living with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and lingering chemotherapy side effects. With clinics in Astoria and Hillsboro, the practice continues to attract patients who seek meaningful relief after years of discomfort, frustration, and limited treatment options. Founded by Dr. James Carter in 2015, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness has built its reputation on patient-centered care, measurable outcomes, and a belief that healing begins with listening.

As awareness grows around the limitations of conventional approaches for complex pain conditions, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness stands out for delivering natural solutions that support the body's ability to recover. Recent patient outcomes, including a case where fibromyalgia symptoms and pain decreased by nearly 60 percent after five sessions, highlight the effectiveness of the clinic's approach and its growing impact across the state.

Addressing Conditions That Often Go Unresolved
Fibromyalgia and chemotherapy-related side effects affect millions of people, yet many struggle to find care that addresses the full scope of their symptoms. Fibromyalgia often presents as widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive challenges. Chemotherapy side effects can include neuropathy, shooting pains, nausea, brain fog, and persistent exhaustion that lasts long after treatment ends.

At Luna Acupuncture & Wellness, these conditions are treated with respect and depth. Rather than focusing solely on symptom suppression, Dr. Carter works to identify underlying imbalances within the nervous system, circulation, and energy pathways. This holistic perspective allows care plans to evolve alongside the patient's progress, creating sustainable improvements rather than short-term relief.

"Many of our patients arrive feeling discouraged and unheard," said Dr. Carter. "They are not looking for a miracle. They want progress. When the body begins to respond, even gradually, it restores confidence and momentum."

An Individualized Model of Care
Luna Acupuncture & Wellness operates on the principle that no two patients experience pain in the same way. Each new patient begins with a comprehensive intake and consultation, where their medical history, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and goals are carefully considered. From there, Dr. Carter designs a customized treatment plan that may include acupuncture, auricular therapy, cupping, and supportive lifestyle guidance.

Auricular therapy has become a cornerstone of the clinic's work with fibromyalgia and chemotherapy recovery. This specialized technique uses targeted points on the ear to regulate the nervous system and address pain signals throughout the body. Patients often report improvements in sleep quality, pain intensity, and mental clarity within the first few weeks of treatment.

By adjusting treatment frequency and techniques based on patient feedback and response, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness ensures that care remains responsive and collaborative. Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their healing journey, fostering trust and consistency.

Supporting Cancer Survivors Through Recovery
Chemotherapy saves lives, but its aftereffects can be physically and emotionally challenging. Many survivors find themselves unprepared for the long-term side effects that follow treatment. Luna Acupuncture & Wellness provides a supportive environment where cancer survivors can focus on recovery without pressure or judgment.

Acupuncture sessions aim to reduce nerve pain, improve circulation, and support energy restoration. Patients often describe feeling calmer and more balanced after sessions, which contributes to improved sleep and emotional resilience. Dr. Carter emphasizes that recovery extends beyond symptom relief. "Our goal is to help patients feel like themselves again. That sense of normalcy is essential to long-term healing."

In addition to in-clinic treatments, patients receive guidance on nutrition, rest, and stress management to complement their care. This integrated approach helps patients regain control over their health and well-being.

Creating a Safe Space for Chronic Pain Patients
Chronic pain can isolate individuals and disrupt every aspect of daily life. Luna Acupuncture & Wellness prioritizes creating a calm, welcoming environment where patients feel supported. Many patients share that being listened to and believed is a powerful part of their ability to begin healing.

The clinic's atmosphere reflects its philosophy. Appointments allow sufficient time for discussion, questions, and reflection. This pace contrasts with the rushed experience many patients encounter elsewhere. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, treatments help regulate the nervous system and support the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Patients managing fibromyalgia often report that consistent acupuncture sessions help stabilize symptoms, making flare-ups less severe and more manageable. Over time, these improvements contribute to greater independence and quality of life.

Expanding Access Through Education and Outreach
Luna Acupuncture & Wellness continues to educate the community about the benefits of acupuncture for complex conditions. Many individuals remain unsure about how acupuncture works or whether it is appropriate for their needs. To address this, the clinic offers free 15-minute consultations for new patients. These sessions allow individuals to ask questions, share concerns, and explore treatment options without obligation.

Dr. Carter views education as an essential part of care. "When patients understand how acupuncture supports their body, they feel more empowered and engaged. That understanding strengthens outcomes."

The clinic's growing presence in Astoria and Beaverton/ Hillsboro reflects an increasing demand for integrative healthcare options that prioritize long-term wellness.

A Commitment to Healing Beyond the Clinic
Luna Acupuncture & Wellness extends its mission beyond patient care through monthly donations to LovePeaceHarmony.org, a nonprofit organization supporting humanitarian service projects worldwide. This ongoing commitment reflects the clinic's belief that wellness is interconnected and global.

"Supporting others is part of who we are," said Dr. Carter. "Healing should reach beyond our treatment rooms. Every contribution reinforces the idea that compassion and service are essential to true wellness."

This values-driven approach resonates with patients who seek care aligned with empathy and purpose.

Looking Ahead to Continued Growth
As Luna Acupuncture & Wellness recently celebrated 10 years of service, the practice continues to expand its offerings and refine its methods. With a strong foundation built on trust and results, the clinic remains committed to serving individuals living with fibromyalgia, chemotherapy side effects, and other chronic conditions.

Dr. Carter envisions continued collaboration with patients and the broader healthcare community to increase awareness of integrative options. "We are here to support people who want natural, thoughtful care. When patients feel better, they reclaim their lives. That is why we do this work."

For those searching for relief from persistent pain and fatigue, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness offers a path forward grounded in experience, compassion, and proven outcomes. Natural relief and real results remain at the heart of the clinic's mission as it continues to shape the future of holistic healthcare in Oregon.
