From the reviews

Dr. Dowdy provides more than the ordinary chiropractor. His knowledge for sports chiropractic is unmatched by his peers. He is professional and explains the services he offers. Personally the scraping, cupping and cryo therapy have all improved my performance, mobility and recovery.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Mar 2021

Dr. Josh Dowdy is the most thorough chiropractor I have ever seen. He is not the typical 10 min in and out adjustment chiropractor. He spent an hour with me doing a heard to toe adjustment, cupping, muscle scraping, and stretching. He also has Cryotherapy, spot cryotherapy, and Normatec compression therapy.

★★★★★ — Jake, Mar 2021

I saw Doctor Dowdy for the first time. He is very kind and understanding and has great bedside manner. I was very impressed with his knowledge and multidisciplinary approach to treating the whole body with different modalities. He spent a lot of time with me to listen to my concerns and explain his treatment programs.

★★★★★ — Leanne, Apr 2024

After 20 years of low back pain and countless chiropractors giving me the same neck and back adjustments 3x week with no relief, I went to Dr Dowdy on my son's recommendation. He spent a solid hour with me, listening, diagnosing, explaining and planning a treatment.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
