Lei Liu, LAc
Lei Liu is an acupuncturist and graduated in 1987 from the Shan Xi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. Afterwards, he worked in a 500 bed traditional Chinese medicine hospital as a faculty practitioner before moving to the United States. In the United States, Lei has been practicing for over 20 years, including 6 years as a Clinic Supervisor at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, OR.
He is currently a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Oregon, a Master Chinese Herbalist, and has extensive experience treating many different conditions with great success. He specializes in acute and chronic pain relief and treating and rehabilitating car accident injuries. His many devoted patients that have been with him for the last 5, 10, or 15 years are testaments to his skill and compassion.
When not treating patients Lei truly enjoys playing with his grandson, tending to his flourishing gardening, and cheering on his favorite basketball team the Portland Trailblazers! Ask him about any of those things and he will be more than happy to share.
From Lei's Patients:
After a Total Knee Replacement in September 2022, my iliotibial band (ligament) was irritated and inflamed, giving me pain when driving, in bed, and throughout the day. When I returned to complain to the surgeon in March 2024, he said the irritation was being caused by my knee being a bit loose and rubbing against the ligament. In April, he did a revision surgery to my knee. This didn’t solve my problem. My iliotibial band was still quite painful. We tried a steroid shot. No relief. He finally suggested I try acupuncture so I phoned a friend for a referral.
I am so pleased that they recommended Lei Liu. After my first treatment, I was much improved and after the course of four treatments I am now able to drive and sleep pain-free.
I am very appreciative. Lei Liu has given me back my quality of life. I have now recommended him to my surgeon, physical therapist, and friends.
Lei has helped me tremendously. I was so afraid I would need back surgery. But after a few treatments i was completely out of pain. I also have an auto immune disease, with accupunture and diet all the symptoms are gone. I've been to several accupunture doctors with no relief.
Thank you so much Lei.
After a week of persistent pain in the back of a leg, I visited Lei. He took one look and said: "You have shingles, I can treat you for it". One treatment was sufficient to eliminate the deep tissue burning and twisting pain. The next morning, my primary care P.A. confirmed the diagnosis and prescribed an anti-viral course to avoid post neuralgic pains.
I would recommend Lei Liu for conditions of anger management, night sweats, and nerve pain. He is highly knowledgeable and happens to be the owner. After only three treatments, I feel like a completely new person. Initially I was scared of the needles, but the entire experience was painless. The sense of calm that comes over you is amazing. Lei Liu is wonderful.
