What's the reason for the procedure? Back problems?
Acupuncture originally for sleep abnormalities - started going towards the end of high school. Have continued to primarily see the same provider throughout the years. Different things throughout the years needed attention to bring about mind/body balance.
The cupping, done by another acupuncturist, was done as a sort of "assessment" as well as a back treatment, per se. I also used this acupuncturist to help me overcome some anger issues that intensified tightness in the area of a neck injury - so that through the treatments and visualizations, I could effectively reduce my back/neck pain and control my temper to some degree.
Go figure.
