What clients say about the cupping here
“So a previous pain management doctor had given me a referral slip with her name on it.”
“I've never experienced a care provider so on top of billing and available visits--she's super organized and it was an excellent experience not to have to worry about that side of things.”
“Katie is exceptional at listening and working with her patients to find holistic plans and treatments both during visits and solutions for better self care at home.”
“Katie’s calm presence, professionalism, and natural healing ability gave me the wellness boost I needed to successfully conceive in just three months.”
“I couldn't believe I'd walked in to an appointment with a limited range of neck motion and walked out pain free with a full range of motion.”
“After just the first visit, my mom was amazed by the results—the pain significantly improved, and she was able to walk again.”
From the reviews
I have been seeing Katie sonce January 2017. I work at a desk job, and have had neck and shoulder tension for years. No masseuse I went to could help work the deep knots and issues I was having, and it was affecting my performance at work.
Dr. Katie Ngan is a shining example of what all practitioners should aspire to be. While working with her it is apparent that she truly has your best interests at heart. She will use every tool available to her to help you along your journey to recovery.
I wish I could give Dr. Katie 6 stars! I started seeing Dr. Katie regularly in the summer of 2018 when my partner and I began our fertility journey. Dr. Katie’s calm presence, professionalism, and natural healing ability gave me the wellness boost I needed to successfully conceive in just three months.
Dr. Katie is one of the finest, technically competent, and reliable doctors I've had the pleasure of being treated by. Her acupuncture treatments made a huge difference in my recovery from a car accident.
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.
