From the reviews
I went to see Dr. Custer for my knee. I had a torn meniscus. While treating My knee issue she asked me how does your stomach feel? How’s your digestion? My stomach and digestion has been a challenge for me since I was a little girl, and I never thought to mention it. I was new to Acupuncture and I asked her.
Dr. Custer is the BEST. She is intuitive, professional, wise and caring. Her knowledge of the human body with years of experience in this field makes her treatments above and beyond. Dr. Barbara Custer is great with managing pain, fertility, hormone levels and also just helping your realign into your body.
I have been going to Dr Custer for years for my chronic neck and back pain as well as colds, sprains, and general wellness. She is a thoughtful, intuitive and wise healer who practices medecine the way it should be practiced- with devotion to the patient's overall wellness and the relief of specific pain.
Barbara is an angel in real life, a true healer. She not only helps me with my ache and pain. She exudes calmness and makes me feel relax and understand the world of self- care. She is the best. Every time my session ends, I wish for another hour more. Please go see her. You will not be disappointed.
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.
