Cupping
Cupping is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine technique to loosen tight muscles,
bring better circulation and blood flow to those areas of concern.
Cupping helps to alleviate soreness and assists in releasing tight fascia from the muscle. (Fascia is the collagen-like sheath webbing that encases all muscles of the body).
By creating a pressure on the skin's surface, the cups will adhere to the body and creative an internal suction in the cup which to most people will feel relief immediately.
It’s great for lymphatic drainage, emotional distress, sore muscles, healing a wound nearby faster, and greater Qi and blood flow to the area of treatment.
Marks left from the cup varies in color depending on the areas affected and how severe the ailments are.
Cupping is also seen as a preventative way to
boost the immune system.
Cupping is not only used for sports injury and tight muscles, it helps with colds, coughs, and digestion. It is also used as a preventative method to boost the immune season.

“Dr. Kung is AMAZING!! Acupuncture sessions with her are always the highlight of my week. She is incredibly knowledgable and is also a wonderful, kind person. She uses a combination of acupuncture, cupping and moxa treatments on me to help reduce any new or chronic body pain, stress, and GI issues, and I left feeling renewed after every session. She also takes the time to explain the reasoning behind why she chooses specific treatments and explains how they work — something I find really helpful and interesting, and many other practitioners don’t take the time to do that. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kung!!!”
