From the reviews

I’ve been coming here for years for acupuncture and cupping, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Dr. Anas Khalifeh is exceptional at identifying the exact areas of pain and providing the right relief. His expertise and care have made a huge difference in managing my pain.

★★★★★ — Ke, Apr 2025

"I cannot recommend Dr..Khalifeh enough! I came in because my right shoulder had completely locked up on me. My primary care doctor was already talking about cortisone injections and physical therapy referrals, but I wanted to try a natural route first.

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Santos Acupuncture Pain & Holistic Health

Santos Acupuncture Pain & Holistic Health comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to 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.

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.
