CUPPING
You've likely seen the marks left by cupping, or maybe even had some of your own. It has received a lot of recent attention in the media due to its use by world-class athletes for injury relief. But patients new and old are often curious about cupping, how it works and why we use it.
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique used in alternative medicine, which involves placing cups over meridians of the body to create suction. This promotes the movement of qi (energy) and blood, as well as aids in detoxification. Historians believe that cupping is the most ancient technique in Chinese medicine, predating acupuncture.
The suction induced by cupping facilitates the release of soft tissues, loosens and lifts connective tissues, breaks up and drains stagnation, and increases blood and lymph flow to skin, muscles, and connective tissues.
Cupping can be utilized on many areas of the body where there is pain, or can initiate general wellness and overall cleansing of toxins in the organs by cupping the back alongside the spine. It can also boost the immune system and speed up healing time.
