From the reviews
I’m so glad I found Dr. Liu! She has been helping me find relief for my migraines and neck and back pain. Her acupuncture/e-stim and cupping techniques have truly helped. Thank you Doc!
I started going to Dr Liu 10 days ago, at the beginning of holiday lockdown, to treat a recent foot injury. She came highly recommended by another acupuncturist, and after three great treatments and fantastic results, I can state with confidence: she is by far the best acupuncturist I have ever been to.
I don't usually write reviews, but this experience deserves to be shared. For months I've struggled with stubborn post COVID bronchitis. After trying many different approaches I found Dr. Liu. Her knowledge, careful attention and skill in acupuncture and cupping made all the difference.
Went to Dr. Li and she was really kinda and very thorough about the process of acupuncture and cupping since I've never done it before. It was a wonderful relief for my back pain. I will definitely be returning!
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.
