From the reviews

I ve been suffering from a bulging disk for 15 months I’ve tried PT, accupuncture, cupping and a chiropractor . I had some relief with each .. but still have chronic pain and am extremely uncomfortable all the time. Until I was made aware of Active Recovery and what they offer in their treatments.

★★★★★ — Kathy, Jan 2026

Dr. Kelly is wonderful and does SO MUCH MORE than just chiropractic manipulation. She is extremely knowledgeable and has so many methods of treatment she draws upon based on your current needs.

★★★★★ — T., Apr 2026

I have spent a few months in Dr. Tran's care. I am 54 years old and I haven't felt this good in at least 10 years. I have been struggling with severe back and mobility pain for so long. It kept me from the active life style I wanted.

★★★★★ — John, Sep 2025

Dr. Tran as well as everyone at AC is helpful, professional and pleasant. I've had a few treatments so far from Dr. Tran and have gotten relief from pain I've had for years. I feel as though Dr.

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.
