CUPPING THERAPY
A traditional therapy in Chinese medicine, in which heated glass cups are applied to the skin along the meridians of the body, creating suction as a way of stimulating the flow of energy.
Cupping treatments are mainly used to address health issues, such as:
Back, neck, or joint pain
Migraines or headaches
Muscle pain
Respiratory issues
Allergies
Fatigue
How Does Cupping Work?
Cupping is a therapy where heating glass cups are placed on the skin to create suction.
This causes the skin to rise and redden.
The cup is left in place for a very short time or up to 10 minutes or is slid across the skin.
Cupping is an excellent modality to reduce pain and stiffness in muscles. It also increases the flow of blood and interstitial fluids allowing for tissues to be better supplied with blood and allowing for the removal of metabolic wastes.
Dr. Singh uses stationary, flash, and fire cupping in order to move qi, and promote the flow of energy to help decrease pain.
