From the reviews

…Combined with Luisa's cupping and massage, the results are truly exceptional. I don't think you'll find a better team in Poway or even San Diego. Plus, they accept insurance.

★★★★★ — Di, May 2025

…So far, I’ve had a few cupping sessions, a massage and now acupuncture for the elbow and my face which helps with the production of collagen, yay! She is a professional, super sweet and so is her staff. This is my go to place for natural healing!

★★★★★ — Sandra, Jan 2025

Dr. Pin Lu is amazing at diagnostics and the following care. I can't praise her enough! Brought both my kids and keep referring friends. Her facility is also very pleasant, and everybody is very friendly. I didn't know that accupuncture can do so much!

★★★★★ — Viktoriya, Jan 2024

Dr Pin and her staff are amazing. Their dedication professionalism and knowledge have transformed my broken body into new life. I have both congenital and hip replacement problems. They were able to not only improve my posture balance and strength, but relieve years of pain.

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.
