From the reviews

This place is amazing. Dr Fred is a gifted, extremely knowledgeable healer. Many acupuncturists I've been to don't explain things very thoroughly but here, Dr Fred takes his time and actually listens! It doesn't hurt that he is also super nice and always tries to accommodate me into the schedule.

★★★★★ — Julie, Jan 2018

I got in a car accident and went to Dr Fred for my acupuncture. Out of all of the doctors that I saw for my treatment, Dr Fred was one of the only ones who made me feel like he truly cared about whether I felt better or not.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Jan 2018

What can I say about Dr. Fred! I'd never had acupuncture before, but after my dad (who's the biggest skeptic there is regarding anything other than western medicine) had significant relief from some of his ailments, I thought I'd give it a try on my chronic golfer's elbow. My dad's doctor in MI recommended Dr. Fred.

★★★★★ — Steve, Mar 2017

Being a former college football player my body can be a mess at times. I started going to Dr. Fred for my back pain. It was my first time getting acupuncture but he made sure to fully explain the process which let me know I was in the right hands.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
