After earning a 4 year masters degree in acupuncture from New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest acupuncture school in the country, Ellen ran a clinic in Cambridge, MA for 3 years. But having earlier attended graduate school at Cal State, Hayward, her heart belonged to the West Coast. So she found her way to Grants Pass in 2004 and has been in private practice here ever since. Ellen Practices Japanese acupuncture which is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) but has some key differences. The needles are hair-like filaments that are inserted very shallowly so patients don't feel the pain or headiness of DEQI experience from bigger Chinese needles which are inserted more deeply. This allows for a painless experience. Japanese style also use far fewer needles, can treat multiple problems at the same time, and is extremely effective for emotional issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD.

Greatest acupuncture office ever!

I would recommend Acupuncture at Riverside to anyone who is needing acupuncture. Ellen is friendly and caring and very professional. I had never had acupuncture before and was nervous about trying it but she was so gentle and made me feel at ease.

A Real Angel

I was suffering from lower back and hip pain. It was difficult to walk in the morning, and at night, sleep was difficult and fitful. I continued to see a chiropractor but the pain was getting worse. There was serious talk of using surgery, or an epidural. I finally decided to try alternative medicine.

Acupuncturist Ellen Leonard was able to bring me back level by level. Blessed with the hands of a surgeon and the touch of an angel, she is well versed in the art of pain management. I hardly ever felt a needle, and I'm a sensitive guy. There was never any discomfort. Her skills include different needling techniques as well as the use of herbs for treatment, if needed. She is very empathetic and has a very good bedside manner.

Costs are reasonable and are covered by most insurance plans. She also works with our vets with PTSD and their families at no charge.

I highly recommended her.

Best Acupunturist in town

I have been seeing Ellen Leonard for a couple of years now and she has been very instrumental in my pain reduction and increase of mobility in my back. When I started going to her I was in a lot of pain and was very stiff in my lower back. Since that time I have very little pain and am much more limber. Whenever I start to feel tense or stiff a couple of visits puts me back in shape. She is highly recommended and I feel she is the best acupuncturist in Grant Pass.

Of note the address listed is incorrect. Her correct address is
