Cupping Therapy

About the Service

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years across cultures, including traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. The therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create a vacuum or suction effect. This suction gently pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward, increasing circulation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

Cupping can be performed with glass, silicone, or plastic cups and may be used with either dry or wet techniques. In dry cupping, suction is created using heat or a pump. In wet cupping, small incisions may be made to draw out a small amount of blood, promoting detoxification. Cupping is often combined with massage, acupuncture, or other bodywork modalities to enhance therapeutic effects.

Does cupping therapy help pain?

Cupping is particularly well-known for relieving muscle pain, tightness, and inflammation. By increasing blood flow to stiff or sore areas, it helps accelerate healing and reduce tension. It is frequently used to support recovery from athletic activity, chronic pain syndromes, and postural stress. Common conditions treated with cupping include:

Back and shoulder tension
Muscle fatigue and soreness
Fibromyalgia
Migraines and chronic headaches
Poor circulation and lymphatic stagnation

Why it works

Benefits of getting cupping therapy

Chiropractic care goes beyond pain relief—it helps support your body’s ability to function at its best. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also help prevent minor issues from developing into chronic conditions by improving your body’s biomechanics and overall alignment.

Cupping therapy benefits can include:

Improved blood circulation to targeted areas
Release of muscle knots and fascial tension
Detoxification of skin and muscle tissue
Stimulation of lymphatic flow and immune support
Decreased inflammation and pain
Deep relaxation and reduction of stress hormones

Signs to Look out for

When to get cupping therapy?

If you’re feeling sore, sluggish, or tight in certain muscle groups—especially after repetitive movements, poor posture, or high stress—cupping can help reset and release your body. It’s a good option when you notice stubborn knots that don’t respond well to regular massage or if you feel tension that limits your mobility. It’s also an excellent recovery method post-exercise or during detox and relaxation phases of a wellness program.
