From the reviews

I usually get there once a month, and when I leave from the office of Dr. Dan Zal I feel incredible. He is very experienced and knows which meridian points to touch. I would highly recommend him!

★★★★★ — Evan, Dec 2018

I have been a patient of Dan Ask for a decade. He has helped me with migraines and some general health issues. I go back regularly for maintenance, or as I tell Dan, to keep my chi flowing.

★★★★★ — Dawn, Dec 2018

I have had treatments over the years for a shoulder injury, bursitis in hip, sinus pressure, and must say, the needles work! Dan is very skilled.

★★★★★ — Susan, Dec 2018

Very pleasant treatment. Nice receptionist and office. Private clean warm rooms.

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.
