What Cupping Helps

From back and neck pain to sports recovery, stress and sleep, these are the most common reasons patients choose cupping.

How it works

How Cupping Works

Unlike massage, which presses into the tissue, cupping lifts it. In Chinese medicine this clears Qi blockages and Blood stagnation so Qi and Blood flow smoothly.

Decompression vs Compression

Unlike massage which compresses tissue, cupping lifts and separates layers of fascia, muscle, and skin simultaneously.

Deep Circulation Boost

Draws fresh blood and oxygen into stagnant tissue up to 4 inches deep — unreachable by surface techniques.

Lymphatic Drainage

Actively moves lymphatic fluid to reduce inflammation and accelerate the body's natural detox processes.

“Qi”

Behind the Science

Research published in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine shows cupping therapy significantly reduces chronic neck and back pain. Studies demonstrate measurable increases in local blood flow and a reduction in inflammatory markers. The mechanical suction effect has been shown to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation and accelerated tissue recovery.

Styles

Cupping Styles We Offer

Two styles, plus two techniques Dr. Winke can use with either one.

Fire Cupping

Glass cups are briefly heated with a flame and quickly placed on the skin. As the air inside cools, a vacuum forms that lifts the fascia, draws blood to the surface, and releases stagnant Qi deep in the tissue.

Vacuum Cupping

Silicone or plastic cups use a handheld pump or valve to create controlled suction. The intensity is easy to dial in for sensitive areas and works well for a massage-like glide.

Jumping Cup

Brief, repeated cup application along specific meridians.

Running Cup

Light lubrication lets the cups glide smoothly over the back, shoulders or legs for a massage-like experience.
