What clients say about the cupping here
“I had been suffering from persistent lower back pain for months, and traditional medicine wasn't providing relief .”
“It seemed that my back issues and pain were more on the severe side so I am having surgery, but would definitely recommend Galen as he is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and supportive.”
“Galen made me comfortable almost immediately, from his hour assessment to really get to know me and my issues, to offering a button to ease the anxiety.”
“Galen made me comfortable almost immediately, from his hour assessment to really get to know me and my issues, to offering a button to ease the anxiety.”
“rom a prior sports injury that impacted the tendon on thumb side of my wrist (De Quervain), I had received cortisone from a chiropractor plus PT sessions.”
“During my first visit, Galen was able to quickly diagnose the issue and quickly started treating my bicep tendon.”
From the reviews
…Galen provides pain relief not only through cupping and acupuncture during treatments, but I appreciate the education he offers about the musculature systems at the root of the injuries and his suggestions for at-home exercises tailored to strengthen those areas.
I had been dealing with back pain for over a year when a friend recommended Galen. I was working with my primary and two different specialists that couldn’t identify the pain I was having in my back. My primary prescribed nerve blockers, muscle relaxers, and opiates, but nothing touched the pain.
Dr. Galen is amazing! I saw him this past summer for stress and anxiety, and I always felt much better after our sessions. He is very thorough, and had great suggestions about diet and lifestyle modifications to help me feel better between sessions. He is also very knowledgeable about herbs.
Developed Plantar Fasciitis middle of last year, started from some pain after I played basketball to bothersome pain when walking. Galen really took his time and very in depth in his first assessment. We came up with a treatment plan and detailed exercises. In about 6 months later I am back to normal.
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.
