From the reviews

Mobile, at-home Acupuncture and Cupping with Dr. Long is a total game changer. I've spent countless hours in traffic to get to these kinds of appointments, and end up arriving late and completely stressed out. Only to have to deal with traffic on the way back. Dr.

★★★★★ — Quinn, Apr 2023

…I’ve received acupuncture in Korea and across the U.S., and he’s truly one of the best I’ve encountered: attentive, skilled, and fully engaged throughout each session, using techniques like Gua Sha, cupping, and acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Jacen, Oct 2025

…He uses acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha, and the combination has made a real difference for me. He’s genuinely kind, attentive, and committed to helping me feel better. I always leave feeling cared for and heard. I would recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective acupuncture care.

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.
