A Decade of Healing: How Luna Acupuncture and Wellness Is Redefining Chronic Pain Care in Orego

Published

Astoria & Hillsboro, Oregon, 28th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As chronic pain continues to challenge healthcare systems across the nation, one Oregon-based clinic has quietly led a revolution in natural, patient-centered healing.nLuna Acupuncture & Wellness, founded in 2015 by Dr. James Carter, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this fall. The milestone marks not only a decade of service but also a meaningful shift in how chronic and complex pain conditions are treated in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Carter, a Doctor of Acupuncture with advanced training in acupuncture, auricular therapy, herbology, and more, founded Luna Acupuncture & Wellness on a central belief: Meaningful healing and transformation happens when each person is understood as a whole—body, mind, and spirit. This approach informs every interaction, shaping thoughtful care that is both personalized and rooted in connection.


Taking the Time

At a time when many healthcare providers feel pressured to rush through appointments, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness has taken a different path. Dr. Carter and his team prioritize flexibility and adaptability in appointment length as well as approach. New patients begin with a free 15-minute in-person or phone consultation, offering an opportunity to learn about the office and care approach, as well as get their questions answered and find out how acupuncture might be able to help them. Potential treatment options are reviewed and discussed for their particular type of pain condition.

“Too many people living with chronic pain feel unheard or dismissed,” says Dr. Carter. “At Luna, we want every person to know they matter. We take time to learn not just about their symptoms, but about their experiences, their stress, their lifestyle, and their hopes for healing.”

This compassion-first approach has earned Luna a reputation for excellence among patients who often arrive after years of frustration with conventional care. Dr. Carter has seen remarkable outcomes in pain alleviation by combining acupuncture with auricular therapy, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance.


A Science-Based Approach Rooted in Tradition

Luna Acupuncture & Wellness bridges the wisdom of classical Chinese medicine with modern biomedical understandings of chronic pain and neurological function. Dr. Carter completed a doctoral degree in 2024, focused on integrating biomedical research and evidence-informed findings into treatment approaches. This has expanded the clinic’s offerings to include more effective and streamlined treatment protocols and the capability to treat a vast array of chronic and recalcitrant pain conditions. These treatment protocols often include advanced auricular diagnosis and treatment, a rarely mastered method that uses the ear to assess and treat imbalances throughout the body. For some conditions, clients are taught how to gently massage the ear between sessions to enhance progress.
This often can provide on-demand pain relief and alleviation, lessening the need for pain medications.

“Auricular medicine gives us the ability to pinpoint the root causes of dysfunction and pain in real-time,” explains Dr. Carter. “It works especially well for complex chronic pain cases where the root causes aren’t always obvious. Once we’re able to identify the relevant patterns, we can stimulate the surface of the ear with the placement of seeds, the benefits of which can regulate the nervous system and help the body to reset in a natural, non-invasive way.” The technique can easily be integrated alongside other forms of healthcare without interaction.

This method has helped thousands of patients find relief from a wide range of conditions including fibromyalgia, PTSD, migraines, autoimmune flares, injuries, and chronic pain. The combination of modalities integrated during a session allows Luna to address multiple aspects of a condition at the physical, mental, and emotional layers.


Two Locations and a Growing Footprint

With locations in both Astoria and Beaverton /Hillsboro Oregon, Luna Acupuncture & Wellness serves a broad range of clients throughout Oregon. The practice originally began as a modest one-room practice in Beaverton, but over the past decade, it has grown into a full-spectrum wellness space offering acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, plant medicine, nutritional guidance, and personalized care plans.

“People come to us from across the Pacific Northwest,” says Dr. Carter. “Sometimes they drive for hours just to find relief. That tells me we’re doing something right, and it motivates us to keep growing and innovating.”


Supporting Global Wellness Through Giving

Luna Acupuncture & Wellness carries its healing mission beyond the treatment room. The practice donates monthly to LovePeaceHarmony.org, a nonprofit that supports humanitarian projects worldwide. From trauma relief programs to clean water initiatives, the organization aligns closely with Luna’s values of compassion and service. “Giving back is part of our clinic culture,” says Dr. Carter. “It reminds us that health is
interconnected. When we support communities in need, we also create a ripple effect that uplifts all of us.”

Patients often express gratitude for being part of a business that prioritizes ethical and community-centered practices. Many report feeling not only physically better but also more emotionally and mentally centered after beginning treatment at Luna.


10 Years of Transformation and Testimonials

Dr. Carter reflects on the past ten years with humility and pride. The clinic has treated thousands of individuals who arrived in pain, exhausted by conventional options, and desperate for change. Time and again, Luna’s integrative model has helped these patients reclaim their lives. One patient, a 47-year-old woman from the Oregon coast, suffered from chronic fatigue, migraines, and joint pain for over a decade. After three months of customized treatment at Luna, she returned to work full-time and began hiking again with her family. Another patient, a retired firefighter, reported complete resolution of long-standing nerve pain that previously resisted surgery and medications.

“We don’t promise quick fixes,” says Dr. Carter. “But we do offer hope and a path forward. “Our goal is to help our clients to sustainably build better health through healthy habits and using time-tested modalities that can support the body’s ability to self-heal.”


Looking to the Next Chapter

As Luna prepares to celebrate its tenth anniversary this fall, Dr. Carter is looking ahead with optimism. Plans for the coming year include expanded clinic hours, additional workshops on self-care and seasonal wellness, and the release of a guided visualization and acupressure workbook designed for home use.

He also hopes to mentor emerging practitioners and explore more community collaborations in the mental health and chronic illness space. Dr. Carter believes that the future of medicine lies in relationships between provider and patient, body and mind, individual and environment.

“Our tenth year isn’t just about looking back,” he says. “It’s about recommitting to what matters: showing up with integrity, continuing to learn, and offering care that truly honors each person’s journey.”

BAZAARS LAUNCHES ORC-55 MULTI-CHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TOKEN STANDARD; BZR TOKEN FIRST TO IMPLEMENT

New Standard Enables Native Token Operation Across 10 Blockchain Networks Without Bridge Protocols

LONDON, 28th Jan 2026 – Bazaars today announced the launch of ORC-55, a multi-chain cryptocurrency token standard designed to address interoperability challenges in the blockchain industry. The company’s BZR utility token has been upgraded to become the first token to implement the ORC-55 standard.

According to Hacken’s 2024 Web3 Security Report, the cryptocurrency industry experienced $2.9 billion in losses during 2024. Bridge protocols, which facilitate token transfers between blockchains by locking assets on one network and issuing equivalent versions on another, represented a portion of these losses. ORC-55 offers an alternative approach by enabling tokens to operate natively across 10 blockchain networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, zkSync Era, Optimism, Cronos, and Mantle.

“We’ve taken a fundamentally different approach to how tokens can work across multiple blockchains,” said Raja Al-Khatib, Co-Founder and CEO of Bazaars. “Instead of requiring users to move tokens between networks through bridges, ORC-55 tokens are already present on all supported chains. Users can interact with their tokens wherever it makes the most sense for them at any given time.”

The standard is designed to support the company’s decentralized marketplace operations across 87 countries. For crypto-commerce applications, users can choose to transact on whichever blockchain offers preferable transaction fees or processing speeds at a given time. Because ORC-55 tokens exist natively across all supported networks, a user holding tokens on one blockchain can interact with those same tokens on any other supported blockchain without requiring bridge protocol conversions.

The ORC-55 standard includes several technical features. The standard does not include administrative functions after deployment, meaning no entity can modify the contract or create additional tokens post-launch. The token supply can only decrease through programmatic burns, with supply changes tracked across all supported networks. The standard implements allowance mechanisms designed to address certain transaction timing considerations. Token metadata is stored on-chain rather than relying on external servers.

The blockchain interoperability market is projected to grow from $0.3 billion in 2023 to $1.0 billion by 2028, according to research published by MarketsandMarkets in July 2023. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for cross-chain cryptocurrency transactions and the expansion of blockchain-based commerce applications.

The ORC-55 standard and BZR token implementation launched today across all 10 supported blockchain networks. BZR is currently listed on MEXC, BitMart, and Coinstore exchanges. The token is compatible with Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Trezor, and Ledger wallet platforms. Bazaars reports it is in discussions with additional platforms regarding ORC-55 integration.

Bazaars plans to release the ORC-55 technical specification as open-source in Q2 2025. The company states this will enable other projects to evaluate and potentially implement the standard.

Bazaars operates a decentralized marketplace platform utilizing blockchain technology for peer-to-peer commerce. The platform uses BZR tokens for transactions. Technical documentation and additional information are available at https://bazaars.io or via Twitter @BazaarsHQ.

By

United Kingdom, 28th Jan 2026 – VestaScan today announced the launch of vestascan.com, a real world asset token explorer and issuer workspace designed to support token deployment, token listing pages, and controlled access to due diligence documentation through private data rooms.

VestaScan is built for asset teams that want a direct workflow from token creation to a public facing token page that can be shared with potential investors, partners, and stakeholders. Users connect a wallet, deploy a token, and manage access permissions for a dedicated data room associated with that token. Each token page can also provide an on-chain explorer link alongside the related documentation environment.

“Private markets need better execution, not more complexity,” said the company’s chief executive. “VestaScan is designed to give issuers a clear path from token deployment to a structured token page and controlled document access, so serious asset teams can present opportunities with more transparency and operational discipline.”

Platform overview

VestaScan combines core issuer tooling and discovery into one environment:

  • Free token deployment workflow for issuers creating tokens through a wallet based flow
  • Token listing pages designed for sharing, with optional links to on-chain explorer views
  • Private data rooms connected to each token, with issuer controlled access settings

  • Verification and certification options for issuers that want an additional trust layer displayed on the token listing

     

VestaScan is positioned as an infrastructure layer for real world asset tokenization, supporting use cases such as real estate tokenization, private equity tokenization, and private credit tokenization. The platform is designed to help reduce fragmented documentation workflows and improve how issuers present and manage tokenized private market offerings.

VestaScan is a technology platform and does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Token issuers remain responsible for their token, disclosures, investor eligibility, and compliance obligations.

United States, 28th Jan 2026 — As the Southeast Michigan housing market faces new inventory and interest rate complexities, Knybel Network has officially launched its Seller and Buyer Advantage Program. Led by Brett Knybel and Alex Klott, the initiative provides Macomb, Oakland, and St. Clair County residents with the data-driven precision required to secure profitable outcomes in a high-competition environment.

Through Knybel Network, Brett Knybel and Alex Klott bridge the gap between traditional real estate and modern digital strategy. By leveraging hyper-local analytics and a high-retention YouTube series, they offer sellers a distinct advantage in property exposure while giving buyers “first-look” insights into shifting neighborhood trends in Macomb and St. Clair County. 

“Today’s sellers are no longer satisfied with a ‘For Sale’ sign and an MLS listing,” says Brett Knybel, Founder of Knybel Network. “They want to know how we are going to protect their equity. This initiative is about providing total market certainty through advanced digital marketing and real-time data that most Realtors won’t tell you.”

Strategic Equity Protection for Homeowners

The Knybel Network Advantage Program focuses on precision pricing and digital-first staging to ensure Macomb County listings stand out to qualified, high-intent buyers. By targeting specific buyer demographics across Oakland and St. Clair Counties, the team reduces “time on market” while maximizing the final sale price.

Streamlined Navigation for Metro Detroit Buyers

For buyers, the initiative provides a roadmap to navigating low-inventory markets. From first-time homebuyer education to specialized military relocation (PCS) support for families near Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Knybel Network ensures every client has a data-backed strategy before entering negotiations.
