What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy is a traditional technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes. By creating gentle suction on the skin, cups lift the tissue and encourage blood flow to areas of stagnation or tightness. This increased circulation helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and support recovery from muscle strain or physical stress. Cupping is commonly used for back and shoulder tension, headaches, sports recovery, and general muscle discomfort. When used alongside acupuncture or as a standalone treatment, cupping therapy helps restore healthy movement in the tissues and supports the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance.
“I came to Healing Points after suffering from sciatic nerve pain for two weeks. After ER visits, MRIs, pain medication, and seeing a pain specialist, it was after my very first session with Dr. Gigi that I experienced the most relief. My real progress began with acupuncture, and now I’m a believer.
BTW—you’ll love Dr. Gigi! You can tell she truly loves what she does and genuinely cares about helping her patients.”
