From the reviews

I went in for numb-ness and pain in my left leg. Dr. Jennifer was there to help. After a consult she went to work preforming acupuncture and within 3 secession I was feeling much better. The staff at Westside is always in a great mood. Convenient and easy to find...great parking too.

Love, love, love❣️ I came here back in 2009 (ish) because the doctor said the next step was surgery on my neck. However, because of the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Paul not only did I not have to have surgery; my neck pain was minimal to non-existent.

My husband was seen here for the first time last week. He was treated well by everyone in the office. His pain has improved and he's heading back for a follow up appointment this morning! Highly recommend. 2/1/22 - Update - OMG!

Great friendly staff that know me by name. Dr. Paul is incredible and takes time to actually really hear my concerns and issues. Recommendations are wonderful incredibly knowledgeable and if not familiar will do research and find out more information. Blessed to have found this place it has really changed my life.

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.
