From the reviews

I recently had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Dr. Iris Guo! I had been dealing with severe neck and back pain from a previous car accident and had tried various treatments, including rehab, physical therapy, and chiropractic treatments, without much relief. However, Dr.

★★★★★ — David, Nov 2023

I've been seeing Iris for acupuncture, and I can't recommend her enough. Unlike massage, where it takes me half the session to fully relax, I can feel the needles working their magic almost immediately. She helped clear up my rosacea, and now I can even tell when certain foods don't sit well with my body.

★★★★★ — Kate, Oct 2024

Dr Iris Guo at Yan Acupuncture and Herbs is an outstanding practitioner and passionate health care specialist. She notices everything and listens intently to your needs and questions. My exams have been thorough and followed by hands on manual therapy, stretching and needling in a quiet, relaxing space.

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.
