Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist -

Dr. Greg Eckel

Dr. Greg Eckel has been living in the Portland area since 1992. Dr. Eckel became increasingly aware of and concerned about the overuse of medications with children while teaching preschool, and this experience inspired his entry into Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine. In 2000 he co-founded Nature Cures Clinic with Dr. Greg Nigh.

The combination of Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and botanical medicine) has provided Dr. Eckel with a variety of tools to treat both acute and chronic illness while valuing the principles of prevention and wellness. He also employs neurofeedback for a variety of conditions (ADD/HD, insomnia, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety, and depression).

Dr. Eckel is trained in family practice, and maintains particular interest in:

• Neurology (including headaches, migraines, palsies, post stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s).
• Physical Medicine (pain, fatigue, arthritis, sports injury and accident recovery).
• Pediatrics (wellness visits, vaccination education, attentional and learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders, allergies, and asthma).

Dr. Eckel also lectures extensively in the community and co-produces bi-monthly podcasts. If you know of an organization that would like to have him speak he welcomes your inquiry by email.

Dr. Eckel’s goal is to help people achieve optimal wellness through natural health care.

In addition to a thriving practice, Dr. Eckel enjoys raising his two children with his lovely wife. He is a fan of bluegrass music, loves the outdoors and regularly bikes to work.
