From the reviews
After my husband saw Dr. Chou a few times and received good results, I decided to give acupuncture and cupping a try. I’m impressed by Dr. Chou’s professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge for holistic self care such as diet and exercise.
I had a hip replacement on 4/1. Then I had a complete revision on 5/07. The revision turned into a pain disorder called Complex Regional Pain Disorder....nerve pain so intense that I could barely move my body without severe pain. On my second visit, Jax really tried to tackle my pain.
Great knowledge, helped solved my wife's years of unknown coughing issue within the first 2 visits. Tried others as far as 20 sessions with minor improvement. Doc. Chou was able to identify the main cause and recommended eastern meds to take. And within the first 2 weeks, the coughing stopped by 75%!!
I’m a 71 yr male who loves to play competitive golf. I recently developed severe pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder from working out too hard. After 3 visits to Dr Chou, I can turn my neck freely and my shoulder pain is gone.
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.
