Columbia River Acupuncture

Susan Froehlich, is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist (LAc), practicing in the Columbia River Gorge.
After a successful career as a Children's Rehabilitation Specialist, she returned to school at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM), completing a 4-year, Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM).
She has been in practice since 1999 and focused areas include women's health (fertility and menopausal issues), elder health, allergies, musculoskeletal conditions, pain (acute and chronic), emotional health and preventative care.

Initial appointments are usually 90-120 minutes, as we need to understand your health history, present concerns and questions.
In conjunction with your treatment, including acupuncture (tuina, laser, moxa, etc if your concern requires it), determining the treatment plan will dictate how many visits will be requried.
Follow-up treatments are usually 45-60 minutes, reviewing improvements and changes from the previous treatment and receiving acupuncture as well.
Patients should bring completed paperwork with them to their first appointment, paying close attention to nutritional and herbal supplements (brand, dosages) and pharmaceutical dosages/names.

At Columbia River Acupuncture it is our goal to help each patient improve their quality of life and to achieve optimum health.
Traditional Chinese medicine, which consists primarily of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs, offers a unique approach to healing that nicely compliments other health care modalities.
We work closely with physicians, alternative practitioners and you, our patient, in order to provide the best and most thorough treatment.
Successful health care is only possible when the practitioner has a complete understanding of the patient physically, mentally and emotionally.

I came to Charlie Cannon six weeks after having hip surgery.
5 weeks out from surgery while getting out of the pool at a PT session I had a disc go out in the L-3 - L-4 area of my back that eventually started sending shooting pains down both legs as well creating massive pain in my non surgical hip, as well as in my back.
In two sessions with Charlie I was able to get back on my crutches and resume my physical therapy.
Over the next 3 months going to Charlie 7 more times I can say without hesitation that his efforts were the key to my ability to continue recovering from my back problem as well the pain in both hips.
