Cupping Therapy Philadelphia is the modification of the well-known dry cupping treatment, which became tremendously popular after 31st Olympic Games in Rio. Cupping Therapy Philadelphia technique invented by Philadelphian physician Dr. Tsan  – Medical Director of the famous in this city holistic center Viva Healthy Life. The main difference between traditional cupping therapy and Cupping Therapy in Philadelphia is the traditional cups placed all over the back of the patient while Dr. Tsan places them on specific acupuncture points located along the thoracic spine. These points are known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Shu points and each Shu linked to one of 12 major internal organs (heart, lungs, large intestine, small intestine, gallbladder, liver, etc.). This technique allows applying treatment not only to the back muscles but also to internal organs. Thus Cupping Therapy Philadelphia successfully used for the treatment of internal diseases.

How Does Cupping Therapy Philadelphia work? What does it treat?

Cupping Therapy is an authentic Chinese treatment to fight against internal liquids stagnation.  A vacuum achieved using glass or plastic jars on the patients’ skin using either a suction device or open fire. When the cups are left set up on the skin for 15-30 minutes depending on patient’s constitution and diagnosis, blood starts moving and healing process begins.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)  this treatment has been developed even further to help to open the “Channels or Meridians” of the human
Cupping Therapy Philadelphiabody. These vessels are the conduits for energy that according to TCM runs to all organs and tissues. There are 14 main channels in the human body; that must be opened all the time to keep the body healthy. For almost 5000 years this t technique of Cupping Therapy considered as the most natural way for opening
energy vessels even when acupuncture can not do it. That’s why acupuncturists often use cupping as a part of their sessions. In China, Europe, Middle East, and Russia vacuum therapy are used very often to treat respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia; Also cupping therapy used widely against joint inflammation and back pain. There is also a known French technique of cups therapy for treating constipation. This technique called “fire ring” In this procedure cups set on a skin of abdomen wall in a particular sequence. This technique stimulates the muscles of the intestine forcing it to move all contents out of the body.
Some Mediterranean practitioners (mostly in Arabic countries) are utilizing cupping therapy to treat sadness, mood swings, and even depressions. In Arabic medicine, this procedure called Hijama and it’s recommended for both medical and spiritual purposes.
After the completion of the cupping procedure, the skin condition can be very useful for diagnostic purposes. Below please see different skin conditions right after the completion of cupping therapy.


How many types of cupping therapy are there?

Except for the cupping therapy techniques described above,  which is called “dry” therapy,  some doctors, acupuncturists, and naturopaths are utilizing what is called “wet” therapy.
During “wet” cupping therapy practitioner sets cups for a few minutes, then removes cups, punches the skin with either needles or lancets or even blades, and then sets cups over the bleeding area. The vacuumed cups suck out the stagnated blood and force the blood circulation to the average level. This is a very effective procedure that helps to fight blood stagnation and all possible medical conditions that caused the stagnation.
Another technique in cupping therapy called vacuum cup massage. For this treatment patients’ skin is covered with a thin layer of Vaseline and practitioner moves cups over the area from one position to another.

Is Cupping Therapy Philadelphia safe? Does it hurt?

As a Medical Doctor as well as an alternative practitioner with more than 35 years of experience in acupuncture, homeopathy, Reiki, clinical hypnosis and other holistic treatments I do not remember any side effects or problems related to cupping therapy. However, I do not do this treatment to all patients without selection. For example, I would not do this treatment to pregnant women in the abdominal or lower back areas. Also, I would not do “wet” therapy to patients who are taking blood thinners medications (Coumadin, Warfarin, etc.) on a regular basis.
