From the reviews

Ok. First of all I just wants to say thank you to all the staff they’re so supportive and helpful and kind , I am truly grateful for they help I’m getting from them. I came here because I had so much pain in my back and I had frozen shoulder I did not yet recovered.

The physical therapist Jin was fantastic. Jin was incredibly knowledgeable, addressing my concerns with personalized attention and explaining each exercise clearly. I felt immediate relief and a noticeable improvement in my range of motion.

★★★★★ — Eric, Nov 2024

I have been coming here since 2019, to manage my back pain. My job requires me to be physical, so i needed something to help. It has done wonders for me, now i attend for maintenance. The staff is great, good communication, and very flexible. Best part is that they take medical insurance.

★★★★★ — Anzy, Nov 2024

I have been to this place multiple times now and would say as a person who suffers migraine on a regular basis, Dr. Chen has a magic touch! All doctors I met here have been effective and compassionate. Feel super lucky to have this neighborhood gem.

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.
