What clients say about the cupping here
“Often times I may have bad back pain (disc herniations/bulges) and Christine is a trusted and wonderful person and practitioner that I trust.”
From the reviews
I've seen Dr. Christine Chen for almost a year now. She came recommended by my other acupuncturist, Dea Burmeister, who had less weekly openings. Christine is a very talented practitioner who has been working as a doctor of Chinese Rx for over 20 years.
I have been seeing Christine for over 4 years now. She is the best acupuncturist I have had in the past 40 years and I have had plenty. She is excellent in diagnosing the issues and treating them. For example, I have major knee pain and she figured out its root is in the lower back and along the leg.
Christine who is owner/acupuncturist of her practice is absolutely fabulous. I've been going to her for many years, probably around 10?! Whenever I'm having a body issue that doesn't seem to resolve. I don't understand the magic but somehow I always feel better after I go and that's the only result that matters.
I had very bad lower back pain. I have tried everything but little improvement. But Dr. Chen has accurately identify the root cause and after 8 months weekly visit, now my lower back pain is cured completely.
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.
