About Acupuncture
and Susan's Treatments

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture with a rich, over 3000 year tradition, approaches health and healing with truly wholistic principles and practices honoring each person's health concerns as unique and individual.

One Harvard University study estimated that Americans visit acupuncturists more than five million times a year. The National Institutes of Health reports ever-increasing use of acupuncture by thousands of doctors, dentists and other practitioners to treat or prevent many illnesses.

Acupuncture, is based on the theory of vital life energy called qi/chi flowing through your body along "energy pathways" called meridians/channels. An imbalance or blockage of the flow of qi from emotional or physical stress may result in illness.

The meridians have acu-points of energy which when treated can direct the body's ability to create balance within the systems to restore health.

Susan's acupuncture treatments are tailored to the unique needs of each patient-from the very young to the elderly-and will address both the symptoms and the underlying factors of each person's health. Her acupuncture is unique, based on the Classical and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and 5 Element methods of treatment.

Her sessions--in a soothing environment--include a thorough health evaluation of the patient, assessments of the pulses, tongue, eyes, skin and the meridians. Individually tailored home exercises or special breathing techniques may be recommended if indicated. Her acupuncture is administered with thin, sterile, disposable needles.
Such treatment methods as cupping or moxa may be added if indicated to aid in a treatment.

Moxa is the use of a heated herb placed near certain acupuncture points. It is intended to strengthen ones circulation, warm the body, meridians or the muscles and unblock areas of stiffness, weakness, pain and discomfort.

Cupping is the use of special cups which are placed on the body to improve circulation to an area, joint, or muscle where there is blocked or insufficient qi, blood or flexibility.

These sessions are intended to improve one's energy flow, activating the body's natural healing abilities, relieving physical ailments, and promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Susan's acupuncture can be beneficial in the treatment of a wide variety of condidions including--acute and chronic pain, anxiety, weight issues, stress and burn-out, arthritis, osteoporosis, carpal tunnel, women's health concerns, male and female infertility, back pain, emotional imbalance, asthma, chronic bronchitis, circulatory, digesive and reproductive imbalances, migranes, tension headaches, joint pain, fibromyalgia, sinusitis and more.
