★★★★★ — Lavonia, Sep 2014

I saw Michael Vahila recently for severe back pain due to an injury. I am also a surgeon. I was extremely impressed by Mr Vahila’s professionalism, exceptional care and by the results of the acupuncture and cupping therapy session that he provided me with.

Very professional and well-versed on various treatments. He has been amazing in helping my girlfriend cope with decade's long chronic pain. We are both stunned. I highly recommend Mr. Vahila.

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.
