★★★★★ — Isla, Apr 2026

Dr. Kristy is a very good doctor. She is professional, caring, and always makes me feel comfortable during visits. The cupping therapy has helped me a lot with pain relief and overall recovery. I’ve noticed a big improvement since starting treatment with her. I truly appreciate her care and highly recommend Dr.Kristy.

★★★★★ — Gabriela, May 2026

I can’t recommend Dr. Kristy Swanson enough. As someone who puts my body through the wringer with athletic training, finding a practitioner who understands recovery is key. Her combination of chiropractic adjustments, massage, and cupping has been a game-changer for me.

★★★★★ — Tanner, May 2026

I am incredibly grateful for Kristy and the genuine care she shows for others. I attended an event at her office that was unrelated to chiropractic care and held after hours, yet she noticed that I was in pain and immediately wanted to help. That alone spoke volumes.

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.
