Luna Acupuncture & Wellness is a trusted provider of personalized, holistic care in Oregon, with clinics in Astoria and Beaverton/Hillsboro. Founded by Dr. James Carter, a doctor of acupuncture, the practice specializes in helping individuals with chronic pain and complex health conditions improve their health and well-being naturally.
Dr. Carter’s expertise extends beyond conventional acupuncture. He is trained in classical diagnostic methods, including pulse and auricular diagnosis. By observing waveform variations at the radial artery and analyzing the ear’s texture, color, and vein patterns, he uncovers root imbalances in the body with precision—enabling treatments that are highly targeted and clinically effective.
At Luna, each treatment is tailored to the individual. Dr. Carter takes time to understand every patient’s full story—from lifestyle and emotional health to medical history. This depth of attention has helped hundreds find lasting relief, often after other approaches have fallen short.
New patients are invited to start with a free 15-minute consultation—offered in person or by phone—to explore how acupuncture may support their wellness goals. Luna Acupuncture & Wellness provides a safe, supportive environment where healing is nurtured with care and expertise.
Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Carter donates monthly to LovePeaceHarmony.org, a global nonprofit focused on humanitarian service—reflecting his belief in the vital connection between health, compassion, and community.
As Luna approaches its 10-year anniversary in Fall 2025, it continues to grow as a place where clinical excellence meets heartfelt care—a lasting resource for integrative healing in the Pacific Northwest.
