From the reviews
Dr. Chris is amazing. Most people believe there is no cure for Traumatic Brain Injury, those people have never worked with Dr. Chris. Over a period of five months I received Accupuncture once a week and drank a tea specially blended for my condition. Within 6 weeks the changes were profound.
Tim is a true healer, amazingly intuitive, attentive and knowledgeable. I’ve been going mainly for my kidney stone pain, and after a brief consultation he could tell other root issues and how to deal with my problems as a whole. After the first session my pain was 80% - 90% gone.
I had a total knee replacement over a year ago and a tear in my shoulder over two years that limited my range of motion. The results that I received from the session have been nothing short of miraculous. If only I had come sooner....🤦🏽♂️ thanks for everything Tim.
After 20 visits to a chiropractor for chronic neck & shoulder pain which produced minimal positive results, I visited Dr. Chris for one acupuncture session. Phenomenal results from an extraordinarily gifted therapist! Highly recommended!!!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Acupuncture Wellness Center
Acupuncture Wellness Center comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
