From the reviews

Approximately 6 months, I began an on-line search to find a place in Queens that could help me manage my severe neck, shoulder and lower back pain. I needed one location that could provide cupping, massage, acupuncture etc.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Oct 2025

I have been going to LIC Acupuncture for a couple years now and have gone for various different reasons whether for acupuncture, PT, cupping, or massages. This practice has been extremely knowledgable, friendly, and helpful.

★★★★★ — Tommy, Mar 2026

I felt relieved as I went to the place because the clinic has a peaceful environment. I had cupping after a brief physical assessment. The practitioner I met was very kind and professional. They also have physical therapy, which I want to try later on.

★★★★★ — Jueon, Apr 2026

I’ve been visiting LIC accupuncture & wellness for about a year and would recommend this place to anyone. This was my first experience with accupuncture and I was apprehensive but already feel like part of the family.

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.
