From the reviews
Doug is knowledgeable and gentle. My daughter saw Doug for acupuncture and cupping, and she went from being terrified by needles to being completely comfortable. He made the process relaxing, and the treatments worked amazingly!
I have received both acupuncture and cupping treatments from Doug and he is such an excellent practitioner. He is very thoughtful and thorough in his consultation and explains what treatments he feels would be best and why.
I have availed myself of Doug’s services on multiple occasions. He is amazingly professional and has helped me in all circumstances. He is very knowledgeable and shares that with me in every instance so I am always knowledgeable on the treatments.
I am a weightlifter who trains with heavy weights several times a week. I went to Doug after tweaking my back, two weeks before a big meet. After two sessions, my back was in much better shape and I was able to compete in the meet pain-free.
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.
