From the reviews

…Well, I was so blessed to find South Austin Acupuncture for my healing, I had 12 acupuncture sessions and 8 cupping sessions in a period of 5 weeks, plus I started applying Zheng Gu Shui, Bone settling water, a liquid remedy I could used as many times as I wanted a day (helped with circulation and many other things)…

★★★★★ — Jericka, Nov 2022

…For more involved therapy (like cupping or moxi or back points) there are two private rooms. Lastly, the hours of operation and price are great. The two hardest parts most people have with acupuncture are: 1) its expensive and 2) fitting appointments into your busy schedule are tough. Both are covered here.

★★★★★ — Roberta, Feb 2017

…I had a cupping procedure done on my lower back and acupuncture all over my body. My back hadn't felt so great in such a long time! I fell asleep with the needles in me and everything. I highly recommend this place.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Jun 2011

…I’ve been blessed to receive really healing treatment from both Sara and Wally who have been in wonderful with both the cupping and acupuncture treatments. This was my first time having cupping in the traditional way at there simply no comparison to the plastic cupping.

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.
