From the reviews

Kara is awesome! So down to Earth and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable immediately even though she was flipping my head all over the place (I was there for vertigo). She will push you but can recognize your limits and won't have you do something you aren't ready for. I can't say enough about her.

★★★★★ — Tracie, Mar 2021

Definitivamente tengo que tomarme unos minutos y darle a la doctora Kara Alterio un puntaje de 5, el más alto, porque la atención que me brindó con mi operación del hombro derecho fue única, se preocupó por mi, yo llegué con un dolor de 10 y salí plenamente satisfecha. Hizo de todo para que me recuperará…….

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.
