From the reviews
I have been experience upper back muscle tightness and radiating shoulder pain. Booked cupping and guasha. Kinga is very knowledgeable about her practice, made me feel at ease and the therapies were wonderful! I immediately noticed relief and am excited to see the progress.
I cannot speak highly enough of Bright Shen Acupuncture. Kinga has helped my lower back to the point I am no longer on constant back meds every day. She also does cupping at the facility which really helps muscle tension and opens up blood flow.
I wanted to take a moment to share my personal experience with acupuncture and the incredible transformation it has brought to my life. I first discovered the benefits of acupuncture when I started experiencing chronic pain in my lower back and shoulders.
Bright Shen Acupuncture has become an important part of my *self-care* journey (though I'm tiring of that phrase, it sounds so indulgent). The first time I saw Kinga, I went in with no expectations of my own, I only knew that she'd helped a close friend.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Bright Shen Acupuncture
Bright Shen Acupuncture 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 — a female practitioner is available here. 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.
