What clients say about the cupping here
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete my full treatment plan due to moving, but even within the first few weeks of seeing him, I felt so much better.”
“Uzi addressed my back pain with a level of success I had not experienced despite medications, chiropractic care, multiple nerve ablations, and physical therapy.”
“He has a very sound basis in his approach and was able to explain to me in simple medical terms what he was seeing and the approach he needed to take and why.”
“From the moment I walked in, he made me feel at ease, taking the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my condition.”
“I am a 77 year old male, retired Physical Education instructor, high school sports coach, and former high school and college athlete.”
“Currently I am back to 100% if not better as he also cleaned up a nagging shoulder injury I was having prior to the accident.”
“He helped me tremendously with my neck and back problems, and from the very first visits I could already feel a noticeable improvement.”
From the reviews
I recently started dry needling for my hip pain, and I’m so glad I found Uzi as my therapist. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel at ease, taking the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my condition.
Dr. Uzi Chen is truly one of the best doctors I’ve ever been treated by. He helped me tremendously with my neck and back problems, and from the very first visits I could already feel a noticeable improvement.
Uzi is a breath of fresh air. When I went to see him I had issues with my hip flexor which were also related to my earlier surgery on my patella tendon in my right knee. Plus I was having back spasms on my lower back right side. In two sessions he was able to find the sources and take the pain out.
Six years ago, I was in a motorcycle accident that left me with multiple severe injuries and the loss of my leg. Since then, I’ve lived with chronic back pain and significant soft tissue pain in my residual limb..
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.
