Acupuncture

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are extremely successful in the treatment of a multitude of conditions. Many people try Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as a “last resort” to serious and complex medical problems and find that it can help them when other treatments could not.
Acupuncture is also often used as a preventative medicine. Many people see Suzanne only 2-4 times a year for a “tune up” or “balancing” treatment. This can prevent disease and promote health, energy and vitality.

Suzanne Clegg will take a thorough history to determine if Oriental Medicine can help you.  Each case is unique and it would be difficult to determine how effective acupuncture will be for you without a full assessment. She also does Chinese Tongue and Pulse Diagnosis as well as the computerized AcuGraph Digital Meridian Imaging system.

You wear loose comfortable clothing as most of the acupuncture points are between the elbows and hands, and the knees and ankles. She has drapes if she needs to get to your torso. Suzanne helps you lay on a comfortable treatment table in a beautiful room. The needles are gently inserted…usually without any pain at all, though she does try to elicit a mild sensation that reassures her that your body is responding to the presence of the very fine needles. Modern needle technology has created super thin and strong needles that really are painless as they don’t cut big holes into the body. In contrast, needles used to inject fluid into the body are much much larger and are designed to create a big opening. Those needles are justifiably dreaded as they can be very uncomfortable! No fluid is injected through acupuncture pins, so they can be extremely fine and gentle.
