From the reviews

I had a great experience at Shire Acupuncture with Kacey. I saw Kacey primarily for pain in my jaw, neck, and hips. Her treatment included acupuncture, cupping, and bodywork. It was incredibly thorough, gentle, and soothing. My jaw, neck, and hips finally felt relief.

In 2018, I had 2 knuckles replaced on my right hand. About 5 months ago, I started going to see Kacey at Shire Acupunture. I was headed down the road for another knuckle replacement surgery. Kacey has prevented this and has created good blood flow through my fingers again. See, I have osteoarthritis through my body.

★★★★★ — David, Jul 2020

Shire Acupuncture truly is one of the best if not the best acupuncture clinics in the Berkshires. I personally have had difficulty with severe digestion issues from SIBO, chronic pain from malnutrition and lots of stress from dealing with these problems.

★★★★★ — Joshua, Jul 2020

Acupuncture has been one of the best experiences of my life. Beginning to come here has really changed my life, in more way than one. My level of pain has gone down, my anxiety levels have dramatically decreased, and so much more! Kacey has been a miracle worker for my health.

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.
