About thirty minutes
A typical session runs about half an hour. The needles are hair-thin and single-use, most people feel only a slight sensation on insertion, then settle into something usually described as relaxing, sometimes even euphoric.
Acupuncture
Thin needles. A whole-body response.
Acupuncture is the foundation of care here, fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at precise points to calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, circulate oxygen and nutrients, and modulate immune response. It’s gentle enough to feel relaxing, and it’s the backbone of the more complex, chronic cases this clinic sees every week.

How It Works
Same needles. A different question behind them.
If you have never tried acupuncture, the needles are usually the whole question. Fair enough: they are hair-thin, single-use, and most people feel little more than a small pinch, then a surprising calm. If you have had acupuncture before and it helped a little, or not at all, your question is the opposite one: why would this time be different? Usually the answer is not the needles. It is the diagnosis behind them.
Susan’s acupuncture is grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine and deepened by advanced certification. TCM is the time-tested framework of channels, patterns, and points that has guided acupuncture for millennia, and for most people it is where treatment begins. Her advanced certification extends that training to the cases a standard approach has not moved: dysregulated nervous systems, and treatment-resistant nerve and pain patterns.
How that training is applied is Susan’s call, made at your evaluation and revisited as your body responds.
Your Visit
What to expect from Acupuncture
A plan built around your case
Frequency and duration are set by your condition’s severity, history, and how you respond, never a one-size template. Plans run as a course of visits whose frequency steps down as your measured progress allows, and can step back up again if your response calls for it.
Evaluated before treated
The evaluation maps your history and pattern before any needle is placed, and we tell you at the consultation whether yours is a case we think we can help.

Next Step
Get evaluated
Acupuncture is just one of the therapies offered here. Susan will meet with you, evaluate your specific case, and determine whether you’re a candidate, and if you are, build a plan that draws from all of the clinic’s services to get you results in the shortest time possible.
One evaluation, every option on the table
Treatment plans here routinely combine acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, O3 ReBoot Therapy®, and AIT, whichever mix fits your case, not just the one page you happened to land on.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, needles are sterile, single-use, and placed by a Florida-licensed, nationally board-certified Acupuncture Physician. Serious side effects are rare.
Two things: who holds the needle, and how deeply they can read your case. Susan Mitchell is a Florida-licensed, nationally board-certified Acupuncture Physician with 30+ years of practice; your case is read on its own terms rather than run through a single playbook.
They’re related but not the same. Dry needling is a short-course technique some physical therapists and chiropractors add to their practice, typically to release a specific muscle trigger point. Acupuncture is delivered here by a Florida-licensed Acupuncture Physician who completed a multi-year, accredited graduate program and passed national board certification, training that covers point selection and whole-body diagnosis, not a single technique. Both approaches use thin needles, the training and scope behind them differ substantially.
Your plan is set at your evaluation, built around your case rather than a fixed schedule. Plans run as a course of visits whose frequency steps down as your measured progress allows, and it can step back up again if your response calls for it. Anyone who quotes you an exact count before evaluating you isn’t being straight with you.
