★★★★★ — Rob, May 2024

I’ve seen a couple of acupuncturist before and seems like it didn’t help but Lishu was the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. I never felt so good after my first visit. My neck pains went away just the first visit. I recommended her to my husband and he couldn’t believe that it relieved his lower back pains.

★★★★★ — Joyce, Sep 2019

If you are debating about acupuncture, or a first timer, this is where you go to be healed! As a Marine Corps Veteran, (34 years old) with heart issues such as Arrhythmia, this place has greatly improved my "condition". I have only had a few treatments so far but I can already tell that acupuncture has saved my life.

★★★★★ — Chris, Apr 2024

I have seen Lishu for almost 5 years. I started off with lower back pain and limited mobility, my pain and mobility issues have improved significantly. I can now chase my grandson with greater speed, he’s fast.

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.
