From the reviews

A year ago my chiropractor suggested I try acupuncture and recommended I go see Julienne for help with my neck and back pain due to an accident. After my first session I couldn’t believe how much it actually helped and she does so much more than just acupuncture, she does some type of massage on your shoulder and back…

★★★★★ — Jasmine, Jan 2020

Julie is professional and completed a complete evaluation of my health before starting a method of treatment. While other avenues of treatment were more costly and recommended by my primary physician, they did not help in treating my main concern of hip pain.

★★★★★ — David, Nov 2019

My chiropractor recommended Acupuncture for my neck and back pain, as an added treatment along with my chiropractic adjustments, and it has helped immensely! I have far less pain, and my headaches have disappeared! Julie, with Better Days Acupuncture, is very knowledgeable, and compassionate.

★★★★★ — Tina, Jan 2020

I had a severe pain in my lower back that spread to my right thigh. I did not sleep for 6 days. I went to Julie and after two treatments the pain was completely eliminated. I could not believe the placement of the needles could have such a profound effect. Thank you so much, Larry Long

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.
