About Craig
Dr, Craig Swogger, L.Ac., DAOM
Craig's Story:
"I wasn't well, and western medicine wasn't working. For two years I had a chronic sinus infection which kept me in almost continual pain, and required me to be on and off antibiotics with no relief. A friend of mine (an acupuncturist for many years) suggested that I try Traditional Chinese Medicine. I said "that's where you stick people with needles, right?" She laughed, and said "that's part of it, come see me." So I did. I remember that after the first session the pain behind my right eye disappeared for the first time in two years. After two treatments, and some dietary changes, my sinuses were clear. It was also clear that this was the profession I wanted to learn. You see, at that time I was leading and teaching meditation in NYC during the evenings, but my day job was just a job that wasn't really helping anyone. I had been seeking a profession that would allow me to merge my spiritual path with my desire to help others, and Acupuncture was the answer. That's my story. Who knows what your story will be after acupuncture."
