Cupping is a popular ancient modality used for musculoskeletal pain, migraines and can even help improve immunity! Glass or silicone cups are used to create a suction. Comparatively to a massage, cupping pulls the fascia away from the body instead of pushing it in.

“I've had several acupuncture treatments with Carlene and she has been nothing short of great! She's kind, patient, knowledgeable, and treats her patients with compassion. Her treatment plan for my nerve pain was very effective and I loved the variety of modalities she offered in addition to needles. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get acupuncture treatment done!”

“I visited Carlene at Glow Integrative for cervical ripening. She was amazing! Having never had acupuncture before and being very pregnant and nervous she made me feel right at ease and was very professional and attentive. She gave me some great tips for labour pain and even followed up with me post delivery to see how I was doing. Highly recommend a visit to Carlene she is a wonderful human and great at what she does! :)”

I’ve had acupuncture with Carlene several times and always come away from it feeling better and more knowledgable. She explains everything she does and checks in with me often to ensure I’m still comfortable. Carlene is conscientious and kind and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing acupuncture.
