Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction. This negative pressure increases blood flow to targeted areas, which may help relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. At Curis Functional Health, cupping is often used alongside chiropractic care, acupuncture, and rehabilitation to support pain relief, mobility, and relaxation. It can be especially helpful for musculoskeletal issues, sports recovery, and stress-related tension.
Cupping therapy at Curis is a gentle, non-invasive experience designed to help your body reset and recover. During your session, a licensed provider will place small glass, silicone, or plastic cups on specific areas of your body—typically the back, shoulders, or legs. A vacuum seal is created either through heat or suction, drawing the skin slightly upward into the cup. This stimulates blood flow, loosens fascia, and can help reduce muscle tension or localized pain.
Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes and may be integrated with chiropractic care, acupuncture, or active rehabilitation for a more holistic approach. It’s common to experience temporary circular marks or mild soreness in the treated areas—both are normal signs of increased circulation and tissue response.
