From the reviews

I have been seeing Dr Lee for a couple of months now. I noticed a vast improvement of my range in motion and localized severe neck and back pain. I had a really bad sciatic flare up and am still recovering months later. I have improved so much and believe his acupuncture and cupping really helps me a lot.

★★★★★ — Rhonda, Sep 2022

I recently had my first cupping session, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The doctor was incredibly kind, approachable, and down-to-earth, which made the process even more comfortable for me as a first-timer.

★★★★★ — Fatima, Dec 2024

My first acupuncture experience was with Dr. Lee. He made my first appointment very comfortable and was very kind. I went in with shoulder pain and he listened very well, made sure to address any other issues, and answered all my questions thoroughly.

★★★★★ — Trisha, Aug 2022

I've seen Dr. Lee for a few sessions for back pain. While I was there I experienced pain relief and relaxation with him. It was amazing and felt great. He provides the ultimate patient care, and takes pride in his ability to provide fast, safe, and effective treatment solutions. Higley recommend it.

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.
