North Portland Acupuncture

"My family and I have been seeing Chris fot appr 20 years now and he is the absolute best out there. He is so knowledgeable and compassionate and does everything he can to help with whatever the reason is were in there for. 12 years ago my husband got cancer and one of his kidneys had to be removed and he went to Chris to start some Chinese herbs to help his other kidney and that really helped get his blood work normal. We have friends we have recommended to Chris that see him and my cousin drives all the way up from Salem to see him, he is that good. Chris loves being able to help people."

"Chris is a wonderful acupuncturist. He has been treating me since 2007 and I couldn’t ask for a better practitioner. He is an excellent listener and diagnostician. He has treated me for migraines, allergies and overall sickness due to being overworked and exposed to many kid germs(special education teacher). I hate needles but Chris’s work like magic."

"Our family has been treated by Christopher going on 9 years now. It is always a great experience. I should come more often because not only is the treatment so very relaxing at the time but has a lasting effect on my body and spirit. Sometimes he uses acupuncture along with herbal treatments or specific exercise. The past two sessions, Christopher's acupuncture and stretches he prescribed got me though what I would describe as nerve pain . This was something new for me. I first thought that my chiropractor could help, but after two tries he suggested acupuncture. Christopher's first treatment relieved the pain, though the pain started to return. Less pain, but it didn't quite let go. Every time I see Christopher when he is treating something specific, he asks me to follow up with him so he can gauge how his treatment worked. I believe he hones his craft with what he learns. On the second treatment, he focused more on a specific meridian. One month later and I am still pain free. Thank you Christopher!"

"Chris is absolutely the best acupuncturists I've ever been to and I've lived in DC, San Francisco, New York City and Philadelphia and no one else is as mindful and competent. The location is very easy to find on Killingsworth just a handful of blocks west from the interstate Max line. I've been going to see Chris since I was in my early twenties and about ten years later there's no other doctor or specialist who can ease my autoimmune pain and symptoms. Lyme, hashimoto's, psoriasis and arthritis ....so many awful symptoms that wouldn't be manageable without Chris. He's a lifesaver. Great herbalist as well!"

"I initially found Chris Slama many years ago when I was diagnosed with a herniated disc. His treatments not only helped the pain, but also helped post-surgery healing, and I have virtually no scar tissue. Since then, all of my family members have been to see him for various health issues. When my oldest daughter was quite young, he helped her through some intense respiratory problems, and he now helps my youngest daughter with persistent neck and jaw tightness. When we can, we all go to see Dr. Chris for general "tune-ups" as we love his kind manner and calm presence. He is an excellent listener, generous with scheduling and time, and he will happily explain his thought process about his treatment ideas."
