Fire Cupping

What is Cupping?

Cupping therapy refers to an ancient technique in which glass cups create a local suction onto the skin and superficial muscle layer.  The vacuum effect can be created from heat introduced briefly by a flame into the cup.

Cupping is an adjunctive therapy that increases blood flow and reduces muscle tension. It is great for respiratory conditions, pain management, gastrointestinal disorders, stress relief, the common cold, and even gynecological disorders.

Dr. Ana incorporates body work + massage into each of her treatments, making this a relaxing service to decompress after a long day, incorporate after challenging work outs in the gym, or to add into your weekly self care routine.

FAQ - Cupping

  • The side effects of fire cupping are rare when performed by a licensed practitioner, but may include burns, bruising, skin irritation, and rare instances of infection. That said, a licensed practitioner like Dr. Ana will ensure the cups are not too hot, and they will monitor the skin closely during and after the procedure to avoid negative side effects.

  • The frequency of fire cupping sessions depends on your needs, tolerance, and requirements. In general, it’s recommended to space sessions out to allow the body time to heal between treatments. Active people might desire fire cupping more frequently. On average, cupping advocates get treated about once a week. Ask Dr. Ana about cupping membership services to receive a real perk in lasting therapy.

  • It’s a good idea to forgo strenuous physical activity after cupping. Acupuncturists recommend staying away from exposure to extreme temperatures, especially cold showers, ice baths, hot showers, and dips in the ocean to avoid risk of aggravating the skin or causing further illness and discomfort. Your acupuncturist will often recommend staying covered where the cupping procedure was done for at least 48 hours.

  • That depends on your practitioner and your specific needs. In general, a  cupping session lasts anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, however Dr. Ana incorporates light massage and bodywork in each of her sessions making each session last about 30-40 minutes.

  • The cupping membership offers patients a chance to take advantage of savings on their health care.

    The membership offers patients a choice between receiving 2 or 4 cupping sessions a month. Appointments do not roll over to the following month in order to encourage patients to stay on top of their self care.
