From the reviews

Just Finished My Treatment-Fully Recovered I spent 7 months going to acupuncture twice a week and taking herbs to try to recover from an 8 year problem of intestinal pain, vomiting, and referred pain. Happy to say that I have fully recovered and am enjoying a full night sleep for the first time in all those years.

I first met Scott Paglia L.Ac. in 2004. I was diagnosed with gallstones and did not want to have surgery. I followed Scott's recommendations for acupuncture & herbs. The stones went away AND I found a greater quality of life.

★★★★★ — Bree, Jun 2015

Finding Scott and his team has been a godsend for me! Western medicine has done a remarkable job at keeping me alive but for the last year we have been working together to improve the quality of my life.

★★★★★ — Kim, Nov 2024

THIS DR. IS AMAZING!!! & I'm sooo glad I found him! 1stly, the atmosphere is calming and Sierra is welcoming, helpful and professional. Dr. Scott healed me in 3 months using these special Chinese skills he has mastered - pulse diagnosis, herbs and acupuncture.

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.
