From the reviews
I have been seeing Dr. Michael Ponce at Aktiv Chiropractor for about three years, and I can confidently say that he has made a remarkable difference in my life. After struggling with sacroiliac joint dysfunction for quite some time, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Ponce.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Michael Ponce for several years and can confidently speak to both his character and the exceptional quality of care provided at his clinic. Michael is consistently warm, welcoming, and professional.
I cannot say enough positive things about Aktiv Chiropractic. I just started with them recently, and I am very impressed with the entire operation over there! Their customer service is top-notch, and the staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Dr.
Dr. Ponce knows his stuff! That's why I knew I had to see him. No disrespect to those little walk in clinics, but if you want real attention and real relief you need to see Dr. Ponce and his staff. All of them so friendly, positive and professional.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Aktiv Integrative Chiropractic
Aktiv Integrative Chiropractic 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.
