From the reviews

Excellent problem solver, helped my shoulder with Accupuncture, cupping, electro stim etc. Went out of his way to get results! My shoulder feels way better!

Dave treated me when I lost my voice during voice training. My voice regained its strength. So recently I took my mom for peripheral neuropathy and diabetes. She’s had a few weeks of treatments and her pain is significantly less and she now has a lot more mobility in her foot again. Would highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Pietro, Jun 2020

I was referred to David from a friend for a hamstring issue I was having. After one treatment I felt 95% better and had a few more treatments to ensure proper healing. David was professional, explained each treatment and was genuinely concerned about my healing process.

★★★★★ — Jason, Jul 2022

I had a big problem with the sciatic nerve for weeks and Nothing helped. My client recommended seeing David McLean and I'm glad I did. He is very professional knowledgeable and attentive. After only two visits, I felt 70% better. I highly recommend

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.
