From the reviews

Dr. Shell is a godsent! Her methods are by far the most effective, mentally and physically. I'm thankful for her knowledge and care. Nobody has been able to help my anxiety, back/neck problems and overall health more than her. I highly recommend her to ANYONE!

★★★★★ — Ashlee, Jan 2020

Dr Shell is a miracle worker. I see her for nutrition and chiropractic. She continues to amaze me every time I see her with her ability to get to the root of my issue. My body thanks her for all she has done for my health over the last several years. It’s really been a game changer on my life.

★★★★★ — T, Sep 2023

I've been coming here for many, many years and have seen every doctor in the building. From the front desk staff, to the doctors and assistants, they always make you feel so welcome. They take the time out to listen- whether it be a health concern or even just personal things.

★★★★★ — Sam, Apr 2025

Dr. Shell helped my entire body get healthy. She is pleasant and excellent at figuring out what's wrong. I wish everyone I know would be her patient. ⛅☔⭐❄🌞

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.
