★★★★★ — Tiayuanna, Aug 2025

I have came here for a year already and it has changed my life. I am a rhythmic gymnast who had a back injury that didn't let me arch, jump, and do so many things. I used to cry everyday of frustration because of it. And if I used it a lot I couldn't even walk.

I first came to East West Wellness for treatment of an autoimmune condition and peripheral neuropathy. After just a few sessions, I was amazed — it was the only thing that truly helped reduce my nerve pain when nothing else had worked. The experience was so positive, I knew I could trust Dr Ji with my health.

★★★★★ — Amy, Aug 2025

I am very new to acupuncture and East West Wellness was recommended by one of the docs at my physical practice office. Dr. Shelly (Shen) at East West Wellness is terrific. Siatica pain was gone after 2 visits and has not returned. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful.

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.
