From the reviews

Dr. Prado was a lifesaver when I started having back spasms. He provided me with treatment and recommendations to strengthen my back and was an excellent resource on my road to recovery. He has aided me in staying in good health ever since, as well. He is a very personable doctor with an excellent sense of humor.

Great Chiro! Helps my headaches and neck pains. Does a great assessment and creates a very well, thorough care plan for your specific needs. He's very friendly and professional and he also is very personable. Highly recommended. Thanks Dr. Prado!

I went to Dr Derek with a bad back a week before moving 6 people out of state. He did an amazing job getting me realigned and feeling normal again. His experience helped me quickly recover and get back to moving normal again.

I was really nervous to try chiropractic, but after having low back pain for years, i figured it couldnt get any worse. Dr. Prado understood my situation, and was very kind in letting me know everything he was doing. Ive been back 3 times and pain has been reduced immensely. Thank you Dr. Prado!

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.
