From the reviews

I started going to Dr. Chris for lower back pain and got him to approve getting lymphatic massage from Stacy. She has given me the best massages I have gotten. I explain to her what I do and where I have pain and she goes to work. She has magic fingers. Her pressure on the strokes are perfect.

Got a great massage with Stacey today. It was relaxing and she addressed all the “issue” areas I mentioned at the beginning. She was willing to adjust pressure and change things up as needed. Happy I found her.

★★★★★ — Chris, Sep 2020

Dr Chris is great at creating a treatment plan for his patients. Been coming here for years. I also highly recommend a massage from Stacey. They have a deal going on all December!

★★★★★ — Ninja, Dec 2021

Dr. Horak and his staff are truly amazing. The experience starts with Jaclyn the office manager who is extremely caring and compassionate, then Dr Chris who skills are off the charts! His years of experience and just his expertise on health and body is just unbelievable.

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.
