I visited my primary care physician for left hip pain that I had been experiencing for months. My PCP ordered an x-ray and said my hip looked fine and suggested physical therapy. I found ARC on the Tricare website, showing them as a participating provider.

ARC Acupuncture and Physical Therapy provides the best physical treatment and rehabilitation we have ever experienced. Dr. Shih has a profound knowledge of the workings of the body. Her work goes very deep and one feels completely safe and trusting in her hands. It has been 'quality of life' changing for us.

Dr. Shih’s expertise in manual mobilization is restoring a flexibility we have not felt in years, and the pain relief is transformational! The whole team is skilled in their care whether it is acupuncture, exercises or physical therapy.

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.
