From the reviews
I highly recommend the treatments provided at Acupunk NYC (including acupuncture, cupping, massage). These treatments have provided relief to years of chronic neck pain, headaches, and limited motion after an accident and overdoing athletics in my youth.
…Since then, Alex has treated me for multiple issues including cupping for muscle tension and acupuncture for sinus issues & hormonal-related conditions. I always leave her practice feeling SO much better (mentally & physically).
Dr. Henriques is exceptional at what she does, kind, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. The treatments she used for my knee felt like magic; I was able to return to my college sport (bowling) with no pain or discomfort. I’m truly grateful for her help, and it’s a bonus that she’s also my cousin!
Alex is the best - i have been going to Acupunk for almost 2 years to help mitigate shoulder, foot, and back pain. When im pain free i still like to go for general wellness. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an alternative wya to deal with nagging muscle and joint issues.
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.
