Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing practice that uses special cups to create gentle suction on the skin. This suction increases blood flow, relaxes tight muscles, and encourages the body to release toxins and inflammation. Rooted in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and other world healing traditions, cupping is a safe, natural way to relieve pain and promote overall wellness.
🌿 HOW IT WORKS
During a session, cups are placed on specific areas of the body—commonly the back, shoulders, or legs. The suction pulls the skin slightly upward, creating space in the tissues and stimulating circulation. This process:
Improves blood and lymphatic flow
Relieves muscle stiffness and tension
Helps clear stagnation and support healing
Promotes relaxation and stress relief
Depending on your needs, cups may be left in place or moved gently across the skin in a technique called “gliding cupping.”
💪 BENEFITS OF CUPPING
Reduces back, neck, and shoulder pain
Speeds recovery from sports injuries
Eases tension headaches and migraines
Supports detoxification and immune health
Promotes relaxation and stress relief
The round marks sometimes left behind after treatment are not bruises, but signs of increased circulation and the release of stagnation. They usually fade within a few days.
🕊️ WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION
A cupping session typically lasts 20–30 minutes and can be combined with acupuncture or other therapies for enhanced results. Most patients find it deeply relaxing and notice an immediate reduction in muscle tension.

“I've been having issues with my shoulder and lower back and other various parts of my body for as long as I can remember. My mother found him on Groupon and I've never had acupuncture done before, and at this point I was willing to try ANYTHING. Immediately after my first session with Dr Ito there was a huge difference in my mobility and pain. I've recommended him to a few family members and they've said he was awesome. He is such fantastic doctor and it very knowledgeable!” - Kiki A.
