From the reviews

…She had a lot of stiffness and limited mobility, but after the cupping treatment, she feels fantastic and has full range of motion. The shaking she was previously experiencing has mostly subsided, and the supplement recommendations have really helped her feel even better overall.

★★★★★ — Tesfa, Nov 2024

Thank you Dr. Zhang for everything.. I suffered with bursitis in the left hip for two years. It was at a point where I could not put my shoes on without assistance. I thought my athletic life was over. Dr. Zhang diagnosed it and assured me it could be treated.

★★★★★ — Mark, Mar 2026

Excellent care! Dr. Zhang has skill, knowledge and expertise in assessing the best treatment to resolve your physical complaints. As well the treatment relaxes the mind such that you are able to clearly become aware of "what you should do" to continue healthy progress.

★★★★★ — Cloret, Nov 2024

Dr. Zhang is kind and patient, and he helped us get pregnant 2 months after I started seeing him. We’ve been trying for over a year and had started the path to IVF treatments so I’m very grateful that we were finally able to get pregnant naturally.

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.
