Acupuncturist Results

I returned to Dr. Kim on Friday and had just as good of results as the first day. The full range of motion returned and the soreness was at a minimum. I was not in pain at all.

Acupuncture Cups
Dr. Kim (also has a phD in
I thought I was done but he instructed me to remain on the table. He poked the skin on my back and place the cups over the center of the hole. Then he withdrew the air from the cups and it stretched the skin up into the cups. The suction drew blood up into the cups.
Dr. Kim explained later that the muscles that were in pain didn’t circulate the blood as healthy muscles did.
