Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that uses silicone or glass cups to create gentle suction on the skin. This suction lifts the skin and underlying tissues, improving circulation, easing tension, and enhancing mobility.
At Fulcrum Therapy, our chiropractors and acupuncturist specialize in vacuum cupping to provide effective pain relief and better movement. Acupuncture sessions may also include both vacuum and traditional glass cupping with heat for a complete therapeutic experience.
Cupping helps stimulate blood flow, remove stagnation, and support tissue recovery. By reducing tension and calming pain signals, it promotes flexibility, relaxation, and overall wellness.

What Does Cupping Feel Like?
Cupping therapy is often described by patients as a soothing and deeply relaxing experience. Many find the gentle suction and warmth so comforting that they even fall asleep during the session.
