Frequently asked questions
Alessandra F.
I've had chronic muscle tightness/soreness in my neck and back for the last few years.
Within the first month of treatment (acupuncture and cupping), I had seen significant improvement in my neck/upper back muscles. Dr. Patel is not only kind and welcoming, but she really listens to her patient's needs and is thorough in her patient education. I highly recommend anyone her services!
