From the reviews
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.
When I was younger I was in a skydiving accident which left me with a compression fracture of my T12 and a whole host of related disk issues. Occasionally, while working out I'll push those surrounding muscles too much and my lower back will freeze up and stay locked for several days.
My experience with Felek Acupunture and Dr. Ilana Leib was 100% positive. Dr. Leib is a good listener and asks good questions. The care was gentle AND most importantly my symptoms improved dramatically from the first session until the 6-7. I saw relief from sleep, stress, jaw tension, sinus and digestive issues.
Have been seeing Ozben Felek for many years. She is a wonderful listener, understands my needs and is responsive to them. I always feel relaxed and centered after our sessions. I primarily see her for immune support since the end of the pandemic.
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.
