RACHEL PEARCE, L.AC.

After earning her master’s degree in Oriental Medicine from OCOM in Portland, Rachel traveled to China to continue her education. There, Rachel studied and practiced alongside Chinese doctors whose knowledge of acupuncture had been passed down through generations. This opportunity expanded her understanding of the practice. She took that experience to Nepal and worked as a volunteer acupuncturist with the Acupuncture Relief Project. Through this program, Rachel had the pleasure of helping those suffering from pain, asthma, digestive issues, eye disorders, insomnia, and stroke. In 2011, she left Nepal to bring her newfound knowledge of acupuncture back to the States.

SPORTS MEDICINE

Rachel has been an athlete all her life, participating in track and field, xc running, rugby, roller derby, mountain biking, and snowboarding. Because of this and her experience as a competitive figure skater, she understands the demands being an athlete places on the body and mind. In recent years, she has studied under the direction of Whitfield Reeves, acupuncturist for the 1984 Olympic Team, who has given her advanced training in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of sports injuries and pain. Rachel enjoys working with all athletes, helping them remain in top physical condition or recover from an injury.

PAIN RELIEF

Although Rachel works with all kinds of pain, she specializes in the neck, shoulder, spine, low back, and hip regions. Damage in these areas can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in other areas such as the arms, hands, legs, feet, and head. Rachel takes the time to assess each patient individually to develop a treatment plan that is unique to their body and symptoms.
