What Is Dry Cupping Therapy?
Dry cupping therapy is a traditional healing technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction draws blood to the surface, promoting improved circulation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike wet cupping, dry cupping does not involve any incisions or bloodletting, making it a non-invasive, pain-free treatment suitable for many individuals.
This therapy has its roots in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern medicine. Today, it has been integrated into modern wellness routines and is used to treat a variety of health issues, including muscle tension, inflammation, and fatigue.
How Does Dry Cupping Therapy Work?
During a typical dry cupping therapy session at Dynasty Clinic, our expert therapists place sterile cups on specific areas of your body, usually your back, neck, or shoulders. The cups create a vacuum, either by heat or a mechanical pump, which draws the skin slightly upward.
This gentle suction increases blood flow, encourages lymphatic drainage, and reduces muscle stiffness. As a result, the affected tissues begin to heal more quickly and function better. Most patients find the treatment relaxing and often experience immediate relief from tension and pain.
