The office atmosphere—Including light, décor, furnishings, sound, temperature, and the acupuncturist’s demeanor—is calming.Shin answers my questions, as if I were a partner in this effort of healing—which I am.The healing Shin fosters seems rooted in years of careful study, generosity of spirit, and a level of self-respect that allows Shin to practice respect for all people.

Great treatment! Saw Shin as a new patient and the whole experience was wonderful. The intake interview was caring and he listened attentively. He explained in detail what the treatment plan was and cared for my comfort throughout. His approach is gentle and thorough. I left feeling terrific and booked right away to see him again.

Always an excellent experience going to Shin! He is very talented, knowledgeable and a kind practitioner. I’ve had a handful of treatments and always feel a considerable improvement in my overall wellness. I really appreciate the sincerity and care - highly recommend!

My friend told me about Shinichi Moriyama Acupuncture and I’m very glad she did. It has been a pretty dark season for us all I think. It is a time for healing. I’m on a journey and feel that I am benefiting from treatment and looking forward to feeling better.Thank you🙏🏾

I’ve always heard great things about acupuncture but I was nervous to try it out because I wasn’t sure if it was going to be painful. I researched different acupuncturists in the area and came across Shin so I decided to give him a chance. The location is kind of hidden but I park next to a McDonald’s which makes life easier. You step inside the building and hop on an elevator to the second floor and once you find his office, you instantly feel at ease when he greets you at the door. His presence and tone is quite calming to someone who suffers from anxiety. In your first session you explain to him what your major concerns are and then he addresses your wants and needs in each session thereafter. The needles feel like a sudden pinch at first and that’s all. I can describe the feeling as being weighed down by a comforter and melting on the table, especially with the heat lamp he places over your body. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my experience and I’m trying to go at least 3x a month to better my mind and body. Please do yourself a favor and give Shin a try! :)

My eczema condition has been improved after a couple of treatments from Shin. He is a great acupuncturist. I feel very comfortable and being well taken care of each time when I visit.

I am a trained (though no longer practicing) acupuncturist myself. Upon moving to Portland from Sydney three years ago, I sought out a practitioner grounded in traditional Japanese medicine, as was my own training and preferred approach. I was incredibly lucky to find Shin. I have seen a lot of acupuncturists in my time, but Shin stands out among them for his skill and ability to consistently get results. I have had MS for close to two decades. The lesions are stable through medication, but I have ongoing issues with fatigue. I see Shin every few weeks, when my fatigue starts to impact my ability to function. Post treatment, I have the energy I need to get through the day for the next few weeks. For me, this is the difference between being able to hold a job and not. Shin is thoughtful and attentive and I'm very grateful to have found him.

My doctor prescribed regular acupuncture treatment to reduce stress. I have been going to Shin for over two years and I am very happy with his treatment. He has an upbeat positive attitude, he is very careful and I believe I am getting real benefit from seeing him on a regular basis. After taking a break from treatment due to COVID-19 concerns I recently scheduled an appointment. I was very satisfied with Shin's pre-visit screening protocol and the adjustments he made to make my visit safe. I highly recommend Shin.

Shin is a great acupuncturist, one of the best I’ve ever been to. He is very perceptive, a great listener and has a calming and kind energy. Very first session I was seeing improvements and I still am. I’m grateful for the healing I’m receiving.

I highly recommend Shin! I’ve seen a lot of acupuncturists and he’s definitely one of the most effective. I started seeing him in my third trimester of pregnancy. In just a couple visits, he’s helped with my neck, shoulder, and hip pain. I feel more relaxed and I’m actually sleeping better too, even as I get closer to my due date.

A very positive and relaxing atmosphere for treatment of a heel issue. I would highly recommend Shin.

I highly recommend Shinichi Moriyama L.A.C. I was in a devastating car accident with a drunk driver in 2018 and suffered from 4 herniated discs and a bad shoulder injury from the crash. Dr. Shin has helped me manage my pain and help me heal more than any other treatment I have received. He is so intuitive and talented at his craft as well as being professional, caring, and gentle with his treatments. Five stars is not enough! He is truly the best at what he does!

Visited Shin following knee replacement surgery and was very pleased with the results. Particularly helpful in easing the aching in the thigh of my operative leg. Professional and thoughtful, Shin instills confidence that I’ll receive the care I need to heal and feel better.

Shin is very calm and a great listener. I started seeing him for acupuncture but have recently added cupping. He is the only one I’ve found that knows the proper way to cup. It always relieves my migraines. He also knows where the tight spots are in my neck and head. That Intuition is rare. Highly recommend.

Shin really took the time to understand what my issues were and his treatment was very effective for my injured shoulder. I’ve gone to three or four other acupuncturists in the past but none could offer the quality of service of Shin - I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great acupuncturist.

I had never tried acupuncture before but decided to give it a try after my wife recommended Moriyama Acupuncture. Shinsan is very professional and works on all of your ailing areas while putting you in a calm environment. I feel that this type of therapy is helping in the healing process.

Shin is knowledgeable and has a grounding presence. His style of acupuncture is interactive. Every session I've had with him has been painless and has provided lasting effects. As someone who sometimes struggles to keep regular appointments with healthcare professionals, I can attest that Shin's manner puts me at ease even when I'm feeling my worst and I am always eager for my appointments. I cannot recommend Shin more highly.

Wonderful experience, Shin helped with chronic pain, and knew what the issue was without my ability to explain it well. He is genuinely kind and caring. I look forward to future visits and to feeling my best.

I had such a positive experience here. Shin is very gentle in his manner and his technique.Yet, his healing is very thorough and effective. He's helped me with some chronic pain and other issues. Highly recommend.

I continue to use Shin to deal with various aches and pains associated with running (and aging!). He has a really gentle touch, and I'm always impressed with his ability to insert and remove needles with next to no discomfort, even in the most tender areas. I've been to other practitioners, for different styles of acupuncture, but Shin's technique is the best. *****Shinichi is a skilled healer. My calf suffered a severe strain while running in 2009 and it healed poorly, often seizing up during speed work and high mileage weeks. I've also had a persistent case of plantar fasciitis in one foot (8 years). Massage helps, active release therapy helps, but acupuncture has helped the most. I first saw Shinichi about six months ago, after registering to run a fall marathon. I saw him regularly throughout my training. Because of those monthly visits, I was able to do all the proper training: high intensity speed-work and all my long runs. I ran a four minute personal best in the marathon just four days after my last acupuncture session, with minimal calf strain. And the persistent PF has virtually disappeared. I encourage any runner to try acupuncture with Shin!

Dr. Shin was able to relieve all my lower back and neck pains in only two visits. If you think accupuncture might be painful, it does not! The needles are microscopic in diameter. Its like taking a nap for 20 to 30 minutes and waking up feeling way better than when you arrived. Go see Shin ......

I have been seeing Shin weekly for 3 weeks. He is very professional and has decreased my sciatic/back pain with every visit. I am grateful that I was given his name and plan to continue to see him.

Just started acupuncture for the first time and after two visits with Shin I’m feeling so much better. No migraines. Reduce shoulder/neck pain and no hot flashes. My blood pressure has come way down to normal limits. Shin has a very calming technique and any stress I had to try acupuncture quickly dissipated. Highly recommend.

I have been seeing Shin for years and I would not be this far along my journey to wellness without him. I have a complex chronic health situation and he knows his stuff..whether it’s a pain in my shoulder or something like my liver is struggling, he knows what to do. I always leave with less pain and calmer than when I arrived. He is a true healer and I feel incredibly blessed to have him on my team of practitioners.

Shin has helped me as I start my long journey of healing. I was amazed by the results as I allowed the treatment to build. Although I still have large challenges I have been shown how good I can feel! Highly recommended.

Shin has been an intregal part to my health for many years. Whether this is for chronic conditions or a sudden need, the results amaze me each time. He is extremely professional, supportive, flexible and knowledgeable.

Shin is a highly skilled practitioner of acupuncture with an incredibly nice, calming manner. I’ve been dealing with poor circulation (Raynaud’s disease) for more than a decade, and I didn’t think there was an effective treatment out there. I was amazed to find that after seeing Shin, my symptoms began to subside, and after several sessions, I hardly experienced any at all. He’s also helped relieve knee pain from arthritis and lingering back pain from a car accident. He listens attentively to make sure he understands your concerns, and his treatments are relaxing and very effective. I always look so forward to my visits, and highly reccomend Shin to anyone looking to relieve pain or improve their overall well being!

He's a true healer: knows his science & craft well, professional, great personality & communication skills, and also has very easy to use online booking and payment systems. Very flexible with scheduling too. I also like how he will explain different things about acupuncture and Oriental Medicine to me. I've learned a lot from him.
