From the reviews
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Lori Gardner Acupuncture in Providence and was incredibly impressed by the experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt a warm welcome and a sense of calm. Dr. Gardner’s deep expertise and thoughtful approach made it easy to discuss my health concerns in detail.
My experience with Lori through Acu of Prov has been exceptional. Her office space is clean, calming, and comfortable and parking is never an issue. Her services are so thorough and she truly expresses sincere care for her patients, inquiring about sleep and eating habits, lifestyle, exercise, etc.
Lori is a truly gifted healer! Not only does she have a great depth of knowledge in classical Chinese acupuncture, she deeply understands the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Lori's down-to-earth and gentle demeanor makes her clients feel truly comfortable and safe in her care.
Love the clean and welcoming office, I particularly like details such as the organic hand sanitizer and fresh flowers :). Lori excels at what she does and makes you feel perfectly at ease. If like me, you are at all nervous about getting acupuncture, then definitely come see Lori.
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.
