Cupping therapy is a treatment for pain relief that has been around for centuries. This ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern type of alternative medicine is carried out by placing cups on the skin to create suction and reduce chronic and acute pains, soothe trigger points, ease inflammation, and relax spastic muscles. As a form of massage therapy, cupping is also a great way to help loosen phlegm in the lungs, remove disease-causing factors, and promote blood circulation. Come in for an acupuncture treatment and try our cupping therapy, which has earned our physical therapists well-deserved praise from each patient they have treated.
Today, cupping, sometimes called suction cup therapy, is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation by boosting blood flow to specific areas of the body.
It can be quite relaxing for some and might also be used with cupping massage to get maximum results.
How Does Cupping Treatment Work?
Cupping treatment is done by placing a cup directly onto the skin, either the cup is heated in some manner, or it’s pumped to create suction. The cups are left in place for a few minutes to pull the skin, fascia, and muscles apart. It’s almost the opposite of most physical therapy massage techniques which use compression to push soft tissue together, instead cupping uses suction as a pulling method.
Cupping is non-invasive and only leaves some bruising and skin irritation after use. Both of these side effects heal fairly quickly on their own. Cupping uses suction to decompress the muscles and connective tissues which prompts blood flow to the area. This kickstarts the body’s own healing methods. Interestingly, cupping results are most like deep tissue massage, but in reverse. You may hear it referred to as massage cupping therapy.
