From the reviews

My family is new to the area, and is very pleased to have found Dr. Beadle! She is an excellent chiropractor that truly takes time to understand and diagnose what your needs are.

★★★★★ — Robert, Jan 2018

Dr Sullivan has been amazing. I’ve neglected my pains and aches for years and couldn’t take it anymore. Between waking up in the middle of the night to ice my back and not being able to keep up with kids, I was tired of hurting.

★★★★★ — Bryan, Jun 2026

I am very pleased with Dr. Beadle and her entire staff. Everyone in this practice is knowledgeable professional, efficient, warm and caring. Thankfully, due to Dr. Beadle’s treatments and guidance, I continue to stay in much better shape than I was when I first saw her three years ago.

★★★★★ — Connie, Jan 2026

I have been to several chiropractors in the area whom never got to the root issues. De Sullivan can get straight to a one crack relief and is extremely accurate. Such a relief

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.
