From the reviews
Professional service from providers that really care about my wellbeing and ways to improve my health
Takes insurance so no need to file a separate claim. Did great work managing my back pain.
I have had 3 sessions by Ms Minal and 1 by Ms Angela so far. Both the Acupuncturists are professional,caring and knowledgable. The front desk staff is also friendly and courteous. The ambiance is positive there. Made me feel very relaxed . I am really looking forward to get more sessions done.
Fantastic, professional, caring, knowledgable service. From the acupuncturists to the front staff, incredibly friendly and courteous. And most importantly, they helped me with a variety of stubborn ailments from sports related over-use, from hamstring pain to IT band syndrome 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.
