Joyce E. Shields, L.Ac.MA.O.M.
A native Oregonian, Joyce earned her degree in Oriental Medicine at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Before entering this field, Joyce worked for many years as a Physical Therapist Assistant in a local subacute rehabilitation facility where her focus was on treating multiple trauma victims and patients who had suffered cerebral vascular accidents (stroke) or head injuries.
During that time, Joyce became interested in Oriental Medicine through her own experience with it following a neck injury sustained while working. But it wasn't until she was involved in a devastating automobile accident that she began to contemplate a serious study of the medicine. Joyce's extensive injuries prevented her from returning to the Physical Therapy field, so in the fall of 1998 she entered the Master's program at OCOM and spent the next four years studying acupuncture and herbal medicine. In the fall of 2002, Joyce opened her first clinic in Portland, later moving to nearby Milwaukie where she still practices today.
With her background in Physical Therapy, Joyce brings a depth of knowledge and experience to her practice that benefits her patients with a uniquely comprehensive therapeutic approach. Joyce also has an extensive understanding of herbal medicine and maintains a herbal dispensary at her clinic.
