From the reviews
…Toledo does more than just acupuncture and really listens to you and strategically "attacks" your pain using techniques like cupping to release stuck muscles and truly allow for your body to heal itself.
I cannot recommend Alvaro Toledo enough. After struggling with getting pregnant, he helped me get pregnant twice. I truly believe he played a big part in helping me conceive and I would recommend him to anyone facing similar issues (or any health issues).
I went to Dr Toledo for a wide range of health issues, some of my ailments were troublesome for me for years. Well I have been seeing Dr Toledo for almost a month now and as I saw immediate improvements, its amazing how my quality of life keeps improving.
Dr. Tuledo did a fantastic job of relieving me of some chronic pain. He got a full understanding of what my issues were, did some movement and seating tests to gauge my pain levels/ability, and then expertly found the exact spot in my back that had been making life difficult for years.
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.
