Dry cupping is a traditional therapy where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and support healing. Unlike wet cupping, no blood is drawn during this process.
The cups create a vacuum effect when placed on the skin, either by using heat or a mechanical pump. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues upwards, encouraging increased blood circulation and loosening tight muscles.
Dry cupping can help relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, reduce pain and inflammation, promote relaxation, and support recovery from physical exertion. It is often used to treat back pain, neck pain, and stiff muscles.
Dry cupping should not be painful, but it may cause a tight or pulling sensation on the skin. Some people may find it mildly uncomfortable, but most describe it as relaxing. Any discomfort typically subsides once the cups are removed.
Cupping can leave round, red, or purple marks on the skin, which are caused by the suction pulling blood to the surface. These marks are not bruises and typically fade within a few days to a week.
A typical dry cupping session lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the individual’s needs. The cups are usually left on the skin for 5-15 minutes during each treatment.
Dry cupping is often used to treat musculoskeletal pain, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder stiffness, and sports injuries. It can also be used to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote overall relaxation and wellness.
Dry cupping is generally safe when performed by a trained practitioner. However, there may be some risks of skin irritation, temporary bruising, or light-headedness after the treatment. It is not recommended for people with certain medical conditions, such as blood disorders or skin infections.
The frequency of cupping therapy depends on the condition being treated and individual response. For chronic issues, multiple sessions may be recommended over several weeks. For general wellness or minor aches, occasional treatments may be sufficient.
Yes, dry cupping is often combined with other treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, or physical therapy, to enhance its benefits. Your therapist can help determine the best combination of therapies for your needs.
