From the reviews

I had a wonderful experience with Dr.Mike, who was not only highly skilled but also provided thoughtful and professional advice😍 I received cupping therapy on my shoulder and acupuncture on my hand. Within two days, I felt noticeably lighter, my muscles were more relaxed, and my overall comfort significantly improved.

I stumbled across Dr. Mike through Groupon, and had such a wonderful first acupuncture experience! 😍 I received cupping and acupuncture therapy, and literally right after I felt noticeably better. My muscles felt relaxed, and my overall comfort significantly improved.

★★★★★ — Emmy, Jan 2026

Had such a great experience, tried a bundle through Groupon of cupping and acupuncture and it greatly improved my neck and shoulder pain. Very relaxing experience.

★★★★★ — Liza, May 2026

I’ve seen Dr. Mike at Core Meridian Acupuncture four times now for cupping and acupuncture, and it’s been an amazing experience each visit. He takes the time to understand what’s going on with your body and explains the process in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in the treatment.

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.
