What clients say about the cupping here
“I've been going to see Melanie for two years now, for anything from recurrent shoulder pain to immune system support and general "re-sets.”
“Melanie Katan is a very experienced and caring professional I go to on a regular basis especially for low back pain.”
“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
…In addition to acupuncture, she has employed additional modalities of cupping, heat and message. All of her treatments have given me comfort. Melanie is not opposed to working with other medical professionals at the same time as treating me. I highly recommend this kind, gentle practitioner.
I have been seeing Melanie for about a year now for issues related to peri-menopause and she has helped me so much! She listens, asks questions and keeps excellent notes, which is extremely helpful to understand progress being made over time.
Dr. Melanie Katin is the best! I have been seeing her for about two years for chronic injury and pain issues. Her treatments not only help with pain but also increase my well-being in a holistic sense.
I've seen Melanie in NYC. She's fantastic! Other-worldly compassionate and understanding! Super professional. Knowledgeable and up-to-date on current research. She is specific and targeted with her practice, so she can treat you in the best way to improve your health and enhance your recovery.
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.
