Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Patients choose cupping for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Cupping is very beneficial to the injured part of the body because it helps the blood flow in the muscle layer. If blood is stagnated, there will be problems with muscle activity and inflammation. Cupping helps to promote blood circulation. The use of cupping can greatly reduce a patient’s dependence on pharmaceutical pain relievers.

I am a big believer in nature’s healthy balance. Traditional Chinese Medical treatment perfectly matches my belief. When I was 10 years old I start giving my mom cupping on her back after she had a very hard-working day. That makes my mom first patient of me! How do I know cupping treatment? I learned from my grandpa and grandma, that they are traditional Chinese medical acupuncturists. I am very lucky to learn TCM at an early age, which makes me understand the world differently than others. Balance is the key to everything: Including eating habits, work and rest arrangements, interpersonal relationships, etc., all need to have their own balance. Especially Traditional Chinese Medical focuses on keeping your Qi balanced and flowing for the whole body. Acupuncture is the best way to help your Qi flow, because when your Qi block somewhere that was the area of Pain started. I am so happy to see people believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine when I come to America. I hope more people understand TCM, that is to keep their life balanced in many ways. The first step is to let me help you to relieve the pain.
