From the reviews

How did it all start? I came across Dr. Lu through word of mouth. My sister-in-law was the first to see Dr. Lu for arm pain, and later, my husband began visiting her to address his insomnia when western medicine wasn’t working for him. I started seeing Dr.

★★★★★ — Ac, Dec 2024

I strongly recommend Dr. Mingxia Lu who is exceptionally knowledgeable, skillful and caring. She is the best acupuncture and Chinese medicine doctor I have ever had. My interaction with Dr. Lu started in 2022 when I got very sick for some extended period. My previous visits to other doctors helped little.

★★★★★ — Hua, Sep 2024

Dr. Lu is truly an amazing doctor—knowledgeable, experienced, highly skilled, and incredibly kind and gentle with her patients. After being diagnosed with unexplained infertility for two years and experiencing a failed IVF cycle following FET, I felt discouraged and unsure of what to do next.

★★★★★ — Xinyi, Feb 2026

I’ve been seeing Dr Lu for several sessions now, and the experience has been wonderful from start to finish. What I appreciate most is how attentive and thoughtful she is, always taking the time to listen, understand what’s going on, and explain exactly what she’s doing.

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.
