How Does Cupping Therapy Work?

Each cupping therapy session can be different depending upon the area(s) that are being cupped. You may be lying down or seated during your cupping appointment. The neck, back, shoulders and hips are the most commonly treated areas, however, legs, arms, the jaw and even rib area may also be targeted.

Patients report that the first 30-60 seconds of the cupping sensation can be uncomfortable. We recommend relaxing into the process. The discomfort will reduce after a bit. Some redness and bruise-like spots in the area can be expected.

After the first session, some relief can be expected, however, more than one session is typically recommended depending on the exact cause of the symptoms.

What Can Cupping Massage Help With?

Cupping is typically used to address pain and soreness, such as chronic back pain, muscle soreness and even sciatica.  Cupping techniques are used to pull the blockage out of deeper tissue and move it closer to the surface of the skin, making it much easier for the body to eliminate toxins.

Can Cupping Be Combined With Acupuncture, Massage and Other Treatment Options?

It can! At Dawn Potter Acupuncture we find that combining cupping with other modalities can be extremely beneficial, depending on the ultimate goal. Cupping is used to reduce blockages and reduce toxins in the body, certain nutritional changes, supplements and vitamins can aid in this too. Discomfort and soreness being addressed by cupping may also benefit from massage, acupuncture, red light therapy, etc.

Based on your health history, wellness goals and current symptoms, Dawn can create a wellness plan tailored to your needs.
