From the reviews

I started going to see Dr. Ma earlier this year. After getting out of the military, I started having pains in my neck, shoulders, hips, and my lower back. I decided to try something different in terms of therapy. I looked for a good acupuncturist that was fairly closeg to my home.

★★★★★ — Sebrevia, Oct 2025

Dr. Ma is incredible. She is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in acupuncture and holistic health, but is also one of the kindest, most compassionate professionals I've encountered. Before coming to her, I was struggling with my hormones and stress.

★★★★★ — Sydnee, Jul 2025

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ma and the team at Frederick Acupuncture Center. Living with a chronic, ever-changing back pain, has been incredibly challenging. However, thanks to Dr. Ma’s care, I have been able to manage my condition without the need for serious pain medication.

★★★★★ — Leaf, Mar 2025

Dr. Ma and Susan are incredible! My wife and I started coming here recently and we always leave feeling very well cared for. They are kind, attentive, and very thorough. Their office is always very warm and welcoming. We are certainly satisfied patients!

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.
