From the reviews

…My specific care plan needs include both acupuncture and cupping. The cupping was not something I had been looking for, but boy am I glad I tried it! It helps relieve muscle tension and boost circulation like nothing else.

★★★★★ — Ligeiaz, Nov 2020

Absolutely the BEST!!! I never considered cupping to help with my loser back and shoulder but I'm so glad I did! Dr. Parassio is a true miracle worker and funny! Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Casey, Mar 2025

After struggling with several symptoms for months, someone suggested that I try Acupunture. After one visit with Cara I felt immediate relief and a calm that I haven’t felt in years. I can’t recommend her practice enough!

★★★★★ — Jessica, May 2026

My experience with Cara has been excellent each visit. She is gentle and has the healing touch. You won't be disappointed.

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.
