As a Five Element Acupuncturist, my practice is deeply rooted in the ancient principles of Chinese medicine, focusing on the balance and harmony of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each of these elements corresponds to different aspects of physical and emotional health, and my role is to help individuals achieve equilibrium within these elements to promote overall well-being.

In my daily practice, I engage with patients on a holistic level, seeking to understand not just their physical symptoms but also their emotional and spiritual states. Through careful assessment and diagnosis, I identify imbalances and use precise acupuncture techniques to restore harmony. My treatments are tailored to each individual, recognizing that everyone’s journey to health is unique.

The beauty of Five Element Acupuncture lies in its ability to address the root causes of illness rather than just the symptoms. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, I help to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, release blockages, and enhance the flow of vital energy, or Qi. This approach not only alleviates physical pain and discomfort but also fosters emotional resilience and mental clarity.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is witnessing the profound transformations that patients experience. Whether it’s alleviating chronic pain, reducing stress, or enhancing overall vitality, each success story reaffirms my commitment to this ancient healing art. I strive to create a supportive and compassionate environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take charge of their health.

Ultimately, my mission as a Five Element Acupuncturist is to guide individuals towards a balanced and harmonious state of being, helping them to connect with their inner strength and achieve lasting wellness.

Christi Van Deusen has 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical Physical Therapist.

She earned her Physical Therapy degree from the University of Washington in 1998, and practiced with Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington for 23 years before moving to Springfield in 2022. She is passionate about helping and empowering patients to optimize their physical function and comfort.

Christi’s treatment approach is a combination of patient education, targeted exercises, and hands-on techniques. She tailors meaningful exercise and movement programs for her patients that can be readily incorporated into daily life. In addition to a wide variety of orthopedic issues, Christi is skilled at treating vestibular and balance deficits.

Christi was a varsity rower for the UW Women’s crew team back in her college days. Although her competitive rowing days are long over, she loves floating the McKenzie River with her husband.. She also enjoys recreational archery, hiking, gardening, art and photography.

“Physical Therapy should be specific to each individual and their personal mobility needs and wants: it is not a “cookbook approach” because each person’s “recipe” is a little different. We are complicated creatures, and it is important to look at the whole integrated system… the whole person… and not just the symptoms. Physical Therapy should be a collaboration. It’s about helping the client understand their body and about guiding them towards independence and healing.”
