From the reviews
Diagnosis: Severe Sciatica Pain, Past Spine Surgery, Sleepless nights I've had acupuncture in the past but never had results from other places. Dr. Gu was only there one of my four day treatment and he help me get started. I came in on day 1 unable to walk nor stand straight.
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 went here about 5yrs ago. I suffered from fibromyalgia constant pain. I wasn't able to move without pain. I suffered from neuropathy, insomnia, & depression. I tried other places, but this doctor was the BEST!! This acupuncture changed the quality of life!
Best place for acupuncture! Weight issues, quite smoking, pinch nerve, back pain, stress, gold bladder, any pain.... Gone with Franck or Andrew . No appointment, open 7 days a week 10 am to 6pm. First arrived first served. No fancy nancy. To the point and efficient!
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.
