Alex Tan is amazing. A true legitimate Chinese Medicine professional. I have been trough several Acupuncture professionals and hands down Alex Tan is the best. He studied in China for over 10+ years and moved to the USA and for the past 3-4 years has been practicing in Flagstaff AZ which is only 30 minutes away from…

Superbly Excellent!!! The pain in my ears was inconceivable, and Alex managed to get that pain under control. The VA said there is no cure for tinnitus. However, I am living proof Alex has been able to get my tinnitus under control along with many other painful issues. I HIGHLY recommend Alex!

★★★★★ — Christina, Mar 2025

Alex was wonderful he sat and really talked to me for almost the entire appointment. I haven't gotten that from a practitioner in a while. He gave me all kinds of things to work on that are realistic and achievable. My sister is an acupuncturist and I’m very picky and I highly recommend Alex!

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.
