dry cupping
QUALITY CARE IN OTTAWA
While not your traditional pain management treatment, cupping has become more mainstream in recent years, and it isn’t hard to pinpoint why. Amazingly effective at reducing pain and inflammation while also simultaneously increasing blood flow and relaxation, dry cupping has the potential to help you feel your best.
During a dry cupping session, a trained therapist places special cups on your skin to produce suction. You will also likely notice that your therapist lights the cups on fire before placing them on your skin. The heat is what causes the suction. More specifically, as the air in the cup cools, it creates a suctioning effect.
From here, your skin will start to get red and rise as your blood vessels expand. Again, this might sound scary or concerning, but this is exactly what you want to happen to get all the benefits of cupping.
There are also manual pumping cups that don’t require heat.
With dry cupping, our goal is to direct blood flow to where the cups have been placed.
If you’re interested in experiencing all the benefits of dry cupping, we are happy to report that we offer the best dry cupping therapy in Ottawa.

improved circulation
Increasing blood flow can help with relieving muscle tension, as well as promote cellular repair. When we place one of the suction cups on the skin, we are helping direct blood flow to that part of the body. This idea works similarly in the lymphatic system, helping to drain lymph out of the body.

Why is cupping performed?
Dry cupping is a natural healing practice that has been used for centuries to help with various medical conditions. It works by gently placing glass, silicone, or plastic cups onto the skin in order to create suction. This suction helps to increase blood flow and encourages lymphatic drainage which can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
Dry cupping also helps with relaxation and can be used to target specific areas of pain or tension. By creating a vacuum around these areas, it helps relieve any knots that are built up in the muscles and can provide relief from tightness or discomfort. There are even claims that dry cupping can be beneficial for mental health, as it helps individuals take their minds off of any stresses or worries.
Overall, dry cupping is a great way for people to seek natural remedies for various medical issues.
Are there any side effects of cupping?
Cupping is a very safe treatment that has been performed for thousands of years. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t any potential side effects that you should be aware of.
Potential side effects of cupping include dizziness and discoloration where the suction occurs. Some patients experience sweating and nausea during their appointment but this is rare.
You also might notice a pinching sensation at the sight of the cupping.
What should I expect during my appointment?
You’ll be happy to hear that your actual cupping appointment is fairly low maintenance. Your practitioner will do all the work for you. All you’ll have to do is lay back and enjoy.
You will feel the suctioning sensation from the cups and might experience a slight pinching. Beyond this, though, you likely won’t experience much else.
With dry cupping, your session will only last 5 to 10 minutes. Discoloration from the cups should disappear within 7 days of your session.
