From the reviews

I have been going to Thrive Chiropractic for around 5 months now, and my experience has been amazing to say nonetheless. Before coming to Thrive, I was dissatisfied with my previous chiropractor, due to her busy traveling schedule.

★★★★★ — Kala, Dec 2025

Wow! I had a wonderful experience at Kauffman Chiropractic and I was only my first visit. First impressions do count! I came in with very stiff and painful neck ache, not being able to sleep or even think due to the constant throbbing pain that was now causing headaches. Dr.

★★★★★ — Cinthya, Apr 2022

Good place, Dr. Nic definitely knows what he is doing, I've seen a lot of improvement after going in for my hip ! If there is one comment I'd like to make about possible suggestions, it's that there could be a tad more emphasis on Active Release Therapy (ART) techniques - I know they are a chiropractic center, but…

★★★★☆ — Sanjay, Jul 2019

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Thrive Milpitas, a Kauffman Chiropractic, Inc.

Thrive Milpitas, a Kauffman Chiropractic, Inc. comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — ask whether that can be arranged. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.

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.
