From the reviews

I’ve been going to Salem Acupuncture Therapy for about a year. I originally went for bulging discs in my neck, that were pushing on the nerve roots to my right arm. Big problem! I also had a severe pain in my upper back for years. Christine eliminated the back pain on my first visit.

★★★★★ — Joseph, Apr 2023

I spend most of my days hunched over a computer and consequently have a lot of knots and aches in my back. I had heard about cupping and decided to try out a treatment. Christine explained the process and the benefits and gave me my first treatment. I was instantly hooked - she pulled the knots right out of my back!

★★★★★ — Allison, Jun 2016

I have used acupuncture for many years, addressing several issues that traditional western medicine hasn't been able to. The first time I had a session with Christine, I knew she would be the right acupuncturist. Christine researches each issue and will even call others to make sure she's doing the best treatment.

★★★★★ — Jeff, Jan 2017

Christine is one of the most gifted practitioners that I have ever worked with. Having dealt with chronic neck pain and tension for years, I have been treated by a dozen or so different practitioners, generally with temporary relief at best.

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.
