From the reviews
I love coming here for private sessions (I like AcuPlus - some cupping and acupuncture) but I have done the community room experience too. Every practitioner I have seen has been knowledgeable, made me feel welcome and comfortable, and thorough!
Herbs and acupuncture from Janice (Hsin Cheng) Huang, DAOM and cupping from Grace Lee, L.Ac, saved me when I had the most painful cough and sore throat in my life and I could barely drink water. I felt so much better that day. I'm still so grateful!
A family member has been coming here frequently for some months now for several different symptoms/diagnosis, has seen several of the practitioners for cupping and acupuncture and has only glowing things to say about them all. They’re effective, knowledgeable and kind.
Grace Lee at SF Community Acupuncture is an astute and empathetic practitioner. I usually take acupuncture in the community room, but today unleveled to a combination of massage and acupuncture in a private room. What a wonderful modality. Thank you.
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.
