What clients say about the cupping here
“He is very skilled in his traditional medicine techniques and truly knowledgeable with decades of experience!”
From the reviews
Dr. Choe treated my lower back pain with multiple acupuncture sessions along with wet cupping. Very few places if any have the proper techniques and knowledge to perform "wet cupping", which is highly effective.
Dr. Daniel Geren is a gifted healer. He has been treating me over the last year for multiple ailments. The most significant treatment was for menopause. I was experiencing very intense symptoms and with-in two sessions they had subsided to almost undetectable.
Dr. Choe is very skilled and uses various techniques to alleviate my chronic problems. He listens patiently to your problems and asks follow up questions to make sure he understands your conditions.
Wow. I can get a restful sleep and eat actually keeping my food down since treatment. I also have less joint problems as well. Thanks doc.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Wellspring Acupuncture
Wellspring Acupuncture 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.
