Back pain – without surgery
Why an MRI doesn't tell the whole story, and how acupuncture treats back pain.
An ancient method for pain relief
Cupping Therapy in Tel Aviv
Cupping is an ancient, simple and practical Chinese-medicine tool: glass cups create a vacuum on the skin, lifting the tissue to release tight muscles, stimulate circulation and support the immune system. With Yotam Sraya it can be a treatment on its own or part of a session combined with acupuncture.

What does it feel like?
A pleasant pulling and stretching of skin and muscle, followed by relief and warmth. Round marks may remain for a few days – a normal part of the process.

From patients
★★★★★Yotam is simply amazing. Calm and serene, endless professionalism and incredible knowledge. I came to him after a long period of back pain from sitting too much and, like a magician, he released all the pain and stiffness. Warmly recommended – you'll leave with a healthier body and peace of mind.
★★★★★The only one who truly helped me with two problems I couldn't solve for a long time. I didn't believe he could help because I'd tried everything, but I'm the happiest person in the world that I came to him. He helped me wonderfully – and he's also an amazing person to talk to about anything.
