From the reviews

Love Dr. Ozben! She is so warm and thorough with her treatment. I love the Japanese style of acupuncture she uses. It's gentle and just as effective of other styles. Treatments definitely helped and I always felt much better after leaving her care.

★★★★★ — Vanessa, Jun 2023

I had an excellent experience with Min, the Tui Na therapist. She helped me with shoulder, leg and heel pain, and I experienced noticeable relief after just a few sessions. Her technique is precise, and highly effective.

★★★★★ — Krishna'S, Jun 2025

Acupuncture is absolutely the best I have experienced and I have experienced some great acupuncture. Not only is my body healing, but since going I have learned so much about the inner workings of my body's organs and how to be even more sensitive to my body's conversation with me. Thank you!

★★★★★ — Gayle, Feb 2024

10 out 10 for experience with Juan Carlos. He is very knowledgeable , experienced, professional, & friendly with my sciatica nerve injury. Such a positive session that I am going to see him again in 3 days. Explain to me exactly what is going on with my injury.

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.
