Cupping
Cupping is a traditional practice, involving the application of suction to the skin using glass, ceramic, bamboo, or plastic cups. This negative pressure can be achieved by either using a flame to remove oxygen from the cup before placing it on the skin or employing a suction device after placement.
Renowned for its efficacy in pain relief, this technique has gained popularity, notably among premier athletes during recent Olympic Games.
Dr. Lindsay embraces an integrative approach to treatment, utilizing a diverse range of therapies and techniques tailored to your unique goals and areas of discomfort. This includes integrating complementary therapies, such as combining cupping with other treatments or incorporating additional therapies into your cupping session. This holistic method addresses both immediate concerns and long-term wellness goals, optimizing each treatment session to support your individual health journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have cupping as a standalone treatment?
Certainly! If you prefer to receive cupping as a standalone treatment, that's perfectly acceptable. However, at our clinic, Dr. Lindsay advocates for an integrative approach to treatment. This means she draws from a diverse array of therapies and techniques tailored to your specific goals and areas of discomfort. For instance, if you come in seeking cupping therapy for back pain, Dr. Lindsay may also recommend incorporating acupuncture if she believes it would enhance your overall treatment outcomes.

What can cupping help with?
Cupping therapy can provide relief from a wide range of conditions and concerns. It is particularly effective in alleviating muscular tension, reducing aches and pains, and promoting relaxation. When incorporated into acupuncture sessions, cupping enhances the overall therapeutic benefits by improving circulation and releasing tight muscles. In cosmetic treatments, cupping can aid in reducing the appearance of cellulite and promoting smoother skin texture by stimulating lymphatic drainage and collagen production. Whether addressing physical discomfort or enhancing cosmetic results, cupping is a versatile therapy known for its holistic approach to health and well-being.
Will my insurance cover the cost of my cupping?
If used as a standalone treatment, cupping is typically not covered by insurance. However, if incorporated into your acupuncture session, it may be covered by some insurance plans. It's advisable to contact your insurance provider directly to verify your specific benefits and coverage. Additionally, our team is available to assist you with any questions you may have regarding insurance coverage and payment options.
