Scoliosis & Structural Pain
Meet Sasha Dewsnup
My path to Chinese medicine began in the patient's chair — navigating scoliosis and seven spine surgeries as a young person, and discovering firsthand how profoundly acupuncture can support healing.
I earned my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM) from NUNM and practice as a licensed acupuncturist here in St. Helens, Oregon. Each person I see brings their own story — and you are the hero of yours.

"I grew up without healthcare in a time when taking care of my own health meant logical thinking. I Felt in this review this was an important thing to bring out first. I am a person who thinks they can do it all however, With time doctors became more of a main go to than I had in the past. But it came to a point in my life that I was not being heard by the doctors. I felt they should know everything but somehow seemed to know nothing unless it comes to broken bones or something that deals with a bad labs.
"I came to a point in my health that I was willing to try things even I didn’t understand. My health was as I humorously say: “all my dashboard lights were flashing and nothing was pointing to anything.” So, with the advice of a great friend, I tried acupuncture.
"I did not go in expecting anything more than a kind ear to listen to my crazy body symptoms and being poked by a few needles and to be sent on my way and not see any difference. However, I did go in with an open mind and the willingness to try. My first visit was more than I expected. I felt my body release a stress in the pit of my stomach and a feeling for the first time of HOPE. I did not realize I was holding onto so much stress. I thought I was handling things. I did know it was an important step.
"I watched as the prior four months and dozens of odd symptoms start to disappear and be resolved. At first, it was a few good days a week. After the next visit the good days became a couple of great weeks. Something’s resolved quickly while other items that my body had been dealing with for awhile has taken a bit more work but the pain of those things reduced to manageable ranges and then gaps that became longer and longer of feeling normal.
"I do know Sasha Dewsnup has been a blessing in my life, I can’t say how acupuncture works, but it does. I like how She listens to what you say and what your body tells her, and also allows you to rely on Western medicine at the same time."

PATIENT VOICES
What Patients Say
"Sasha is trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, and kind. When she treated me, I was especially impressed with the thoroughness and research she invested in me. I do have a variety of complex issues and I do rely on Western medical practices. Yet, Eastern medical modalities view the body from a different perspective. And I appreciate the whole body approach. I have used several Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine and have had quite a few sessions of acupuncture and other techniques and herbals. I have tried many approaches to become healthy. There has not been such an in-depth evaluation as I received from Sasha. I believe that through her knowledge and skills I will gain better health. And I know she will help many, many others also."
