From the reviews

I highly recommend making an appointment at Core Health if you are someone suffering from headaches or have pain. I have had headaches for years and decided to finally do something about it. Dr. McKay is outstanding and was able to identify issues in my neck, which were causing my headaches.

★★★★★ — Jaclyn, Jul 2020

One of the best chiropractors I have been to. With a history of intermittent headaches and muscle tension in my neck , I was able to feel so much of difference with my first session itself .

★★★★★ — Lorraine, Jun 2025

I saw an add on Facebook for Dr McKay- I have chemo- induced neuropathy and have tried all kinds of remedies. I thought, what have I got to lose. From the moment i stepped into the office, I knew this was something special.

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.
