From the reviews
Skeptical about acupuncture, well I was too until I tried it. In 2007 I was hospitalized with excruciating lower back pain and having severe muscle spasms. This was worse than labor & delivery pains of both my kids combined.
Elements Acupuncture is a life changing experience! Dr. Joel is very knowledgeable, very kind and really cares about what is best for you. The staff is also very kind. Elements is very affordable in price and will change your life. It has mine and I will always thank Dr.
I went to acupuncture because I was having lower back and leg pain. I had the problem for several years. It made it difficult and painful when I went up and down stairs, long walks, exercise and getting in-and-out of a car. After going for acupuncture my legs and back are so much better.
When I was recovering from covid, I sought out (per recommendation) Elements Acupuncture. Dr. Joel (and his staff) made me feel heard and listened to. He took such good care of me, knowing exactly what to do for ME uniquely, specifically after listening to how I felt, what I was going through, etc.
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.
