Cupping Therapy for Shoulder Pain

Cupping therapy for shoulder pain

Cupping therapy, especially when it is combined with acupuncture, dry needling and corrective exercise is very beneficial for shoulder pain.

Guess where this patient's pain is? Hint - it's the darkest spot. The infraspinatus muscle is strained. 

Cupping marks are diagnostic, darker color means that the blood in that area doesn't flow freely, causing "stagnation". Cupping "moves the blood", improves circulation, releases fascial tightness, loosens tightness, reduces pain and fastens healing. 

This patient has an infraspinatus strain from swimming. He is being seen twice a week for acupuncture, dry needling, cupping and corrective exercises to relieve pain and build a strong and balanced body. He is training for a full Ironman.
