What clients say about the cupping here
“Gong for a few months and through her treatment of acupuncture and teas we have noticed improvement in her mobility and her painful leg cramps have reduced.”
“Ellen Gong and the entire staff are incredibly skilled at what they do and truly care about their patients.”
“The doctors here placed needles in various locations throughout my body explaining why along the way and it was a very good experience overall.”
“She not only has helped me physically to remove this physical issue, but is insanely intuitive to mental and emotional struggles and is very gentle in her approach.”
“I am a veteran with chronic neck pain and after two acupuncture sessions with Doctor Lu, my pain and range of motion have vastly improved.”
From the reviews
From the moment I read Eastern Balance’s reviews, I knew I just had to go there. I don’t know if you’ve ever had the experience of going to an MD (or more than one) and explaining what is going on with your body to have them tell you “I don’t believe in that” or “That’s not a thing.” It’s very crushing.
Since I have started accupuncture treatments with Dr. Ellen Gong my health has improved dramatically. But not just my physical health. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine deals with the improvement of healing in the mind, body and spirit because they are all tied together thereby improving your overall health, wellness…
Get ready for a life changing experience and actual healing! I was looking for herbalist who does acupuncture in the Heights. I stumbled across this place via Google, looked at the site, called and made an appointment. I felt I should go here and took a chance.
I can truly say Eastern Balance has saved my life! Dr. Ellen Gong and the entire staff are incredibly skilled at what they do and truly care about their patients. Before seeing Ellen, at age 32, I had seen countless specialists, with $60,000+ for no answers to ongoing chronic health issues.
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.
