From the reviews

Acupuncture of Palo Alto is my go to for health and wellness. Until recently I’ve used western medicine whenever I’ve been ill or or had health issues, but the pandemic and and how it changed modern medicine and the difficulty of getting in to see a doctor made me reevaluate things.

★★★★★ — Isabel, May 2024

I am a lawyer at a tech company that manages a lot of stress (close deals worth billions), and I was looking for an accu that can help manage my lifestyle. I have stress and issues sleeping the entire night. If you come across this place consider yourself truly blessed.

★★★★★ — Roma, Sep 2024

Yaping is very committed to her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable about curing depression and insomnia using acupuncture and Chinese herbs.

★★★★★ — Tracy, Oct 2012

Yaping, the owner of Acupuncture of Palo Alto is a miracle worker. I started seeing her for treatment in September of 23 and am now a true fan of the healing that acupuncture can provide.

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.
