From the reviews
…His treatment was thorough and effective, incorporating cupping, acupuncture, acupressure, and a little massage. I felt so much better afterwards and felt fantastic for the big swim the next day, which I not only completed successfully, but thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks to Dr. Adam, I completed my bucket list dream swim!
I came to see Dr. Adam to treat my postpartum low back pain, after not seeing lasting results from anything else I tried (chiropractic, physical therapy - all of which helped in their own ways, and I still recommend).
After a year of no treatment due to the Pandemic and recently moving to SF, I made an appointment to see Dr. Adam. My shoulders and neck were a mess - I had pain turning my head one direction. After a few sessions with Dr. Adam my mobility greatly increased and pain was significantly diminished.
I was very lucky to have met Dr. Adam!! He is amazing and truly helped me feel the best. I have been in three car accidents and I was feeling at a loss until I found Dr. Adam. He is very knowledgeable, caring, friendly, understanding and made me feel so wonderful every time I left the office!
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.
