DRY CUPPING

Dry cupping is a technique that uses glass, silicone or plastic cups on the skin where there is a vacuum effect created causing the skin to be suctioned. This suctioning of the skin will bring increased blood flow to the underlying tissue, muscles and tendons. This increased blood flow will provide nutrients to the tissue to help regeneration in addition to moving stagnated inflammation from the affected tissue. Dry cupping will leave a circular mark on the patient after use that will last for 3-7 days depending on the amount of suction used during the treatment and length of time of the treatment. Dry cupping is a non-invasive approach to decrease pain and improve circulation to the affected areas. Dry cupping does not include penetrating the skin with any objects and is a different technique compared to wet cupping. Dry cupping is only practiced at this clinic.
