Grand Street Wellness Center uses cupping therapy to relieve pain. Also known as “tissue distraction release,” this treatment method is an ancient form of alternative medicine. It was first used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern societies.

Our New York, NY physical therapists apply inverted rubber pumps or silicone cups to your skin during cupping therapy. Your therapist will suction the pumps/cups onto the skin during treatment. A vacuum is created as the air in the cup cools, causing the skin to rise and the blood vessels to enlarge. This vacuum reduces inflammation and pain, promotes relaxation, and improves blood flow.

As a result, neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons are more likely to displace. Cupping therapy alleviates trigger points, improves circulation, and breaks up scar tissue adhesion.

This treatment has numerous advantages. Cupping is an effective treatment method for a wide range of conditions, including chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.

It can improve the health of your skin, relieve respiratory problems, and even aid digestion. The suction in the cups produces negative pressure, which improves hydration and blood flow to body tissues, decreases bonding, and eliminates excess fluids. Cupping therapy also hastens recovery and relieves symptoms associated with certain injuries and illnesses.

It is critical to recognize that cupping can result in circular bruises on the skin that can last for up to two weeks. These bruises usually heal on their own and are nothing to be concerned about!
