From the reviews
I found Andrea by looking for a nearby acupuncturist who accepted my insurance and held clinical hours that were convenient for me. She has always been able to treat my ailments (back pain of varying degrees, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, foot pain and congestion/head colds) at times convenient for me.
I've been going to Andrea Hayes Acupuncture in Wethersfield for over a year now and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and at ease. The treatment rooms are clean, with a serene and calming atmosphere.
I am so grateful to have found Andrea Hayes. She has helped me manage various issues. I saw her four months after my knee replacement and my leg is moving so much better after seeing her. She is very pleasant and a very compassionate provider.
I've had a lot of joint issues and I've found Andrea to be very helpful. She has a calming presence and, despite my initial skepticism around acupuncture, I felt much better after working with her. Thanks Andrea!
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Andrea Hayes Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine
Andrea Hayes Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine 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 — a female practitioner is available here. 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.
