From the reviews
I had an incredible experience at this Chinese medicine and acupuncture clinic! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and truly passionate about healing.
I had such a great experience at ACA Acupuncture. From the moment I walked in, the space felt clean, calming, and welcoming. My consultation was very thoughtful — Helen asked about my sleep, digestion, and overall wellness before recommending treatment, which made me feel truly cared for.
Finally I found an authentic Chinese massage experience, and this clinic really delivered. It’s not just about relaxing tight muscles — the whole approach focuses on balancing your body and mind. After my session, I genuinely felt lighter, more centered, and way less stressed.
Dr. Helen is the real deal I’ve been coming here for a while and honestly it’s become one of my favorite spots in LIC. The space is clean and quiet — feels nothing like a typical clinic, which I appreciate. Dr. Helen is amazing.
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.
