The absolute best chiropractic work I’ve ever experienced.

Dr. Beadle’s passion for health is evident and she treats you like family.

★★★★★ — Gabriel, Dec 2020

Dr. Beadle and her staff are great! My back pain had gotten so bad that I had to quit my nursing job! My co-worker, Sue, recommended Dr. Beadle but I waited until it got worse before going because I didn’t want to drive 45 minutes to go to a chiropractor!

★★★★★ — Judy, Jan 2023

Dr. Beadle is the very best including at acupuncture. She has helped me tremendously to become pain free and to continue my favorite activities. Her staff is the nicest and friendliest. They care about our comfort also. The atmosphere in the office as well as in the therapy rooms is peaceful, fun and therapeutic.

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.
