From the reviews
…My second visit she added the cupping procedure to my lower back which helped this pain subside tremendously. Dr. Patel is incredibly caring, knowledgeable and a true professional. She deserves all of the 10 star reviews from her lucky patients! Thank you Dr. Patel! Edd
Cupping and acupuncture treatments with Dr. Nirali Patel was the BEST spontaneous decision I have ever made!! I work in a research lab where I am constantly doing a lot of the same repetitive work, not realizing the strain this is having on my arms, shoulder and back.
…She also did the cupping treatment and wow, I felt the difference immediately. Not only did the swelling decrease but I was able to put more weight on that leg and walk without limping.

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.
