From the reviews

…I am so glad that I came here and have completed several acupuncture and cupping sessions. My body is feeling better, and I plan to continue my treatments. I trust Dr. Gao and highly recommend this practice. My experience has been very positive thus far. I hope that others will find this post reassuring and helpful.

…I have been seeing great results so far from a combination of acupuncture, electrostimulation, heat lamps and recently cupping and am very happy with it!! It is a very calm and clean space. It has been very worth it

★★★★★ — Sabrina, Jan 2025

Dr. Guo’s skills are truly outstanding. I experienced temporary amenorrhea after improperly doing moxibustion on my own, and I sought Dr. Guo’s help. He carefully treated me and successfully resolved the issue — my menstrual cycle returned just three days later.

★★★★★ — Joy, Feb 2026

Dr. Guo is highly knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. He takes his time with his patients and addresses all questions/concerns prior to beginning treatment. His staff are also kind and attentive. I highly recommend this practice.

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.
