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.

★★★★★ — J, Aug 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Heather, Nov 2025

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.

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.
