From the reviews
Dr. GU is AAAAAAAAAH-MAAAAZING, I suffered from intense migraines for over 35 years, I was hospitalized for days at a time countless times being pumped full of pain killers that made me vomit, but the headache would go after a few days, I went one day at the start of a migraine to see Dr.
I got whole body unknown rash in 2017 they treated me well, and I got tonsil inflammation (cough badly cannot sleep) in 2018 and I visited an emergency clinic, it costed me $150 they said it was not caused by bacteria so they could do nothing......
I have been going to Dr. Gu for many,many years, I have reccomend several friends family members and co-workers to him all of which were extremely happy with the experience. Dr. Gu is very professional,patient, accommodating,and knowledgeable.
I have had 4 sessions & can report that I see improvement. Provider & staff very professional & friendly. I really appreciate that the Provider listens to you during first consult & before each session to assess progress. Definitely satisfied customer!
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.
