From the reviews
I busted the HECK out of the top of my hand back in 2019. It swelled up so big it looked like a camel hump, and the initial hit hurt like the dickens. I went to Dr. Livesay for help, and she practiced acupuncture to heal it. The process lasted about 1½ hours, and she gave me very thorough after-care instructions.
Having had some experience with acupuncture and eastern medicine in the past I was open to the possibility of resuming treatment when Dr. Livesay established treatment hours on campus. I was even more pleased after several sessions in which Dr.
Dr. Brianna Livesay Thayakaran is a knowledgeable and talented Doctor of Oriental Medicine. She truly cares about her patient’s wellness. After receiving her treatments, I was more relaxed, able to think clearly and free of pain!
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.
