From the reviews
My shoulder pain was a 10/10 & after my 1st visit it went down to 2/10. The acupuncture, cupping & the message therapy you can say I'm almost 100 heal.
Dr. Chen is a fantastic chinese herbalist! I came in for gua sha and cupping therapy to help with my circulation, and I’m already noticing a difference. The tuina massage was so relaxing too. Highly recommend this traditional Chinese medical clinic.
Tried fire cupping nyc at Big Apple, and it was such a unique experience! The tuina massage was so relaxing too. My back feels so much better, and I’m definitely coming back for more TCM.

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Big Apple Acupuncture & Herbal Therapy
Big Apple Acupuncture & Herbal Therapy comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
