From the reviews

Dr. Lee is an outstanding acupuncturist. He is very knowledgeable and professional along with having a kind and considerate manner. He draws upon extensive experience in treating patients using herbs and cupping as well. In my experience, he achieved results that no other acupuncturist has.

★★★★★ — S., Sep 2024

…I especially LOVED the cupping! What truly stood out to me was the follow-up care. Dr. Lee provided me with personalized recommendations for aftercare, including stretches and lifestyle tips, which showed his commitment to my healing journey.

★★★★★ — Tatsiana, Sep 2024

…His choice of treatment for my sessions have included cupping and tens unit in addition to the acupuncture. He also sends me home with a week’s supply of little Chinese herb pills. He notes the progress made each week and fine-tunes the combination of herbs for the following week.

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.
