About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers settled into their usual spots, an announcement crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘For those of you feeling particularly restless today, please consider taking a moment for some deep breathing exercises.’ The voice had a calming quality but left everyone slightly perplexed. A delivery driver leaned back in his chair and muttered, 'Deep breathing? More like deep relaxation from waiting!' Just then, a regular poked him with an elbow and whispered, 'Maybe he’ll get so relaxed he forgets where he parked.' Everyone laughed softly, realizing that sometimes the best medicine is laughter.
2. In the quiet corner of North Portland, a little boy named Max often followed his mom into the acupuncture clinic. One day, mid-treatment, he suddenly pointed up and asked, ‘Mom, why is that lady’s hair moving?’ His mother whispered, ‘Max, that’s just Mrs. Lee’s special technique.’ The doctor smiled and explained, ‘Acupuncture sometimes causes tiny muscle twitches—like when you sneeze or yawn.’ Max nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as another twitch made him laugh. From then on, whenever someone mentioned acupuncture, Max would proudly say, ‘It makes people’s hair move!’
3. On a particularly foggy morning in North Portland, a delivery driver pulled up outside the acupuncture clinic, puzzled by the strange sounds coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door and was greeted by the sound of an old man singing opera into a hairbrush. Turns out, it was just a regular patient practicing his karaoke skills between treatments. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking that maybe North Portland really did have its own unique brand of weirdness.
4. In the dimly lit waiting room of North Portland Acupuncture, a regular patient dozed off during treatment. Suddenly, he started twitching and muttering something about ancient Chinese warriors and lost treasures. The doctor gently shook him awake, asking if everything was alright. The man yawned and said, ‘Just dreaming I found an ancient treasure map in your office.’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Next time bring your own compass—we’re out of magnets!’
