From the reviews

Doctor Masuda has always been of great help any time I've gone for treatment. Whether it was bringing down significant swelling within a very short period after an injury, or doing highly effective cupping therapy on my back (sufferer of Kyphosis), I highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Rob, Jul 2017

I have been seeing Dr. Masuda for over 2 years now. Wonderful, healing atmosphere! Have had acupuncture treatment from several other providers in the past, but Dr. Masuda is the best by far. Excellent approach to chronic pain, treats the whole person. Does moxibustion, gua sha, cupping in addition to acupuncture.

★★★★★ — Karen, Dec 2019

I have seen Dr Masuda several times for muscular issues, particularly neck and hip. He is AMAZING. I always leave without pain, usually none but always at least 90% of my pain is gone. I love that he treats distally and is very non invasive and relaxing.

★★★★★ — Sara, Feb 2023

I am amazed with what acupuncture can help and so happy I chose Masuda Acupuncture for my care. I came in for help with a headache I have had for 9 months. My headache gone and I am free of prescription drugs. Not using any over the counter pain relievers either! Knee pain - gone.

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.
