Cupping Therapy Q & A
What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy is a 2,500 year old therapeutic technique that complements acupuncture therapy. During a cupping therapy session, our providers uses plastic vacuum cups to create suction on specific parts of the body. This process expedites the circulation of blood and energy within the body. As a result, it expels the toxins built up in muscle layers, along with pathogens that cause illnesses.
Who can benefit from cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy eliminates physical and emotional waste from muscle layers, which makes it beneficial to patients who struggle with muscle aches and muscle tightness. Patients with most types of ailments will gain some benefit from this treatment option, too.
Is cupping therapy safe?
Cupping practitioners once used glass and bamboo cups, which put patients at risk of developing burns. The Acupuncturists prevent burns by using plastic cups instead.
Cupping therapy is safe for most patients, but there are some exceptions. For example, it may not be safe for patients who have broken bones, lacerations, or other acute injuries. Our staff will let each patient know whether cupping therapy is appropriate and safe.
What are the advantages of cupping therapy?
Because cupping therapy is non-invasive, it’s safer for patients than many modern day treatments. Cupping therapy offers several advantages for patients, including:
- Loosening of adhesions
- Relaxing tense muscles and connective tissue
- Less inflammation
- Improved flow of fluids and energy
Is cupping therapy safe with other treatments?
