Cupping at Pulse Acupuncture: Revitalize Your Body and Mind

What is Cupping Therapy?

cupping therapy brooklyn

Cupping is a form of alternative therapy that originates from traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping together with acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Cupping therapy procedure uses cup suction (made of glass or bian stone), the cupping purpose is to promote healing. Cupping generally works by creating suction on an area of skin or specific cupping point.

There are different types of cupping therapy: fire cupping, dry cupping, blood (wet cupping), detox treatment, trigger points, abdominal cupping, myofascial decompression, orthopedic cupping, bio- magnetic cupping, myofascial decompression, massage cupping.

At Pulse Acupuncture, Williamsburg, Brooklyn we also use Bian Stones for fire cupping, a practice that complements “Esoteric Acupuncture” well. Precious and rare in nature, the Bian Stones are found in the mountains of northern China. The Bian Stones deliver special far-infrared rays, trace minerals that are beneficial to healing. The Bian Stones used at Pulse Acupuncture are individually picked and manually manufactured for medical cupping therapy. The Bian stone cups are believed to work better than the regular glass cupping since it releases trace minerals when heated up by fire.

Futures of Fire Cupping at Pulse Acupuncture in Brooklyn, NY

For fire cup therapy at Pulse Acupuncture, an alcohol-soaked cupping torch is ignited by fire and quickly inserted into the open end of the cup’s belly. Then, the cotton cupping torch is removed creating a vacuum and a glass cup is quickly placed on specific areas of the body. The vacuum cup therapy creates suctions and gently pulls and lifts the skin away from the muscles. While the skin is pulled, it increases blood circulation to the area as well as pulling the toxic waste out. The cups are rolled on the back mimicking a negative pressure massage. It is usually very comfortable for clients. The rolling action creates myofascial release and incorporates different movements in circular, sliding or linear directions to relieve stubborn knots. The skin will change color from red to purple, indicating that circulation has been brought to the skin’s surface. The increased blood supply in vacuum cupping brings nourishment and stimulates lymphatic systems to remove stagnation and pull-out toxins. The pulling action influences the parasympathetic system to promote relaxation throughout the entire body.

The suction can be light to heavy. Variety of movements will produce stimulating (toning) or sedating (draining) effects depending on the client’s condition. For manual vacuum cups as cupping medical equipment, Marina Doktorman, L.Ac. utilizes a hand pump. Manual cups range from plastic, silicone, rubber, cups with magnets and glass cups with rubber bulbs. A cup is placed at the area and a hand pump is employed to create a vacuum to produce a suction effect similar to fire cupping. The suction promotes lymphatic circulation, relaxes muscles, moves stagnation, draws toxins and pathogens out of the body.

Cupping at Pulse Acupuncture in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Women around the world have been applying negative pressure facial cupping for rejuvenation and maintenance for centuries. The cups used in facial protocols are smaller and vacuum created to lift facial tissue for lymphatic drainage. This method is used to achieve local circulation of the skin, increase nutrients brought to the epidermis and drain the fluids and debris through the lymph. The muscle of the face will benefit from reduced tension, tightness, wrinkles will soften and skin will plump up producing more collagen and elastin.

Abdominal Cupping

Effective cupping treatment for the digestive system. Decompression techniques stretch the walls of the abdominal region, moving the stagnant waste, mucus and overall increasing of activity of digestion. The excess amount of waste will be expelled following the treatment and aids in eliminations throughout several days. The stretching and opening of the abdominal walls help with constipation, menstrual cramps, gas, bloating and reduces acidity.

Flash Сupping

Flash cupping is repeated application and release of cups on the skin. After vacuum suction is created, cups are placed and released. The procedure is repeated over and over for 10-15 min on a specific area of the body to relieve congestion. The procedure is gentler than stationary cupping and more suited for clients with deficient or weak constitution. This is alternation between suction and release techniques.

Wet (bleeding) Cupping

Wet cupping is practiced through application of sterilized single-use lancets to puncture skin and plastic single-use cups are applied to promote stagnant blood to drain into the cup. The bleeding method is the most effective as specific areas on the back are designated to treat various painful symptoms where other therapies have failed. The most effective method of wet cupping is generally used for treatment of arthritis and knee pain. Wet cupping removes inflammation from joints, energizes the body, increases metabolism, helps in asthma, blood circulation, blood pressure, removes toxins and pathogens.

Side effects of Cupping Therapy

Cupping causes skin discolorations and bruising that could last from several days to weeks. In rare cases cupping may cause blisters if cups are retained longer than 30 min.
Cupping massage should not be performed for pregnant women, patients with liver, kidney, heart failure or those with pacemakers. Cupping should not be used for people with anemia, blood disorders or blood thinners.
In rare instances, some patients can experience nausea, dizziness or sweating and mild soreness in the areas where cups were placed. Patients with eczema should inform their practitioner as cupping may worsen that area.

I visited Marina for back pain and digestive issues. My whole experience was positive. She is patient, empathetic, and very talented and knowledgeable. She used multiple modalities on my body (front and back) to address my concerns and treat the whole body rather than one part. I have been returning each week and I feel so good after.

When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!

Cupping Therapy - FAQ

Cupping Therapy works by creating a vacuum inside the cups, which are typically made of glass, plastic, or silicone. The suction created by the vacuum lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow and helping to release muscle tension, break up adhesions, and promote healing in the treated area.
Cupping Therapy can be used to address a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
  • Muscle tension and pain
  • Stress and anxiety relief
  • Sports injuries and recovery
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Respiratory issues
  • Digestive problems
  • Skin conditions, such as acne or eczema
Most people experience little to no pain during Cupping Therapy. The sensation of the suction can be unusual, and there may be some discomfort as tight muscles and adhesions are released. However, the overall experience is typically relaxing and soothing.
A typical Cupping Therapy session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, although the duration may vary depending on the practitioner and the individual’s specific needs. The cups may be left in place for a few minutes up to 20 minutes, depending on the desired therapeutic effect.
