What clients say about the cupping here
“Since undergoing spinal fusion 9 years ago, I have suffered continued lower back pain and had never given acupuncture a try until I was referred to Melanie by my physician.”
“Dr Melanie Katin is an experienced, skilled acupuncturist who formerly practiced successfully in NYC for 15 years before beginning her practice in Evanston a year ago.”
“At the beginning of each treatment Melanie has been an attentive listener in helping assess the extent of my pain and subsequent improvement since the last session.”
“Her knowledge, commitment, and focus on the patient are top-notch, and the Evanston Health Collective is a soothing and healing environment.”
From the reviews
Dr Melanie Katin is an experienced, skilled acupuncturist who formerly practiced successfully in NYC for 15 years before beginning her practice in Evanston a year ago.
Dr. Katin has helped me many times with my emotional health and stress-related digestive issues. When I see her, I feel like I have been "put back together" and I feel a sense inner peace. When I see her regularly, I do not get colds as frequently, my stress feels lower and my digestion is great.
Dr Melanie Katin is amazing! I went in for migraines and I haven’t had one since I started going. It’s a very comfortable and relaxing environment and I look forward to my appointments. Dr Katin listens to my concerns thoroughly and personalizes my treatment in order to help me stay pain free.
Be Better Acupuncture is amazing!! Dr. Melanie is the best. My appointment was scheduled the same day and she was patient and ensured that I was able to walk when I left the office. She is a great acupuncturist and I highly recommend this office.
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.
