“As an RN, I appreciate that she starts each session with an assessment- asks about issues Im having at the moment (sinus, headaches etc) and takes a thorough check of my pulses at every appointment.”
“She took the time to explain what she was seeing with my tongue and pulse, and helped me understand how it all connects to my overall health.”
“She has used several different types of therapies to help ease my pain symptoms and I have left appointments feeling very relaxed.”
“Always leave informed and confident on a speedy recovery.”
“Lindsey Perkins, she has helped me so much with bringing my body back into balance from PMDD, Graves’ disease, and a dysregulated nervous system through acupuncture, and Chinese herbs.”
From the reviews
I have gone to Elements Acupuncture a couple time as I have had some hip and sciatica pain. I have seen Vanessa both times and she has really help address my issues. She has used several different types of therapies to help ease my pain symptoms and I have left appointments feeling very relaxed.
This is our family’s clinic of choice, and we often recommend Elements Acupuncture to our community. Jennifer helps my father with his advancing neurological issue to excellent effect; Lindsey helps myself, my kiddo, and my elderly mom to stay healthy.
I highly recommend Dr. Lindsey Perkins, she has helped me so much with bringing my body back into balance from PMDD, Graves’ disease, and a dysregulated nervous system through acupuncture, and Chinese herbs. In June, I was on the verge of needing to draw disability because my symptoms had become so debilitating.
I couldn’t recommend Elements Acupuncture and Dr. Jennifer Kung enough! I’d give them 10 stars if I could! 😃i I had been seeing another Chinese Medicine clinic that “specializes” in fertility for two years, sometimes twice and three times a week.
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.
