In chiropractic, cupping is often performed on the back, neck, and other areas of the body where there is muscle tension or pain. The suction created by the cups is thought to help loosen tight muscles, reduce pain, and improve circulation. Some chiropractors also use cupping to help manage conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries. As with all forms of alternative medicine, the effectiveness of cupping in chiropractic treatment is still being studied and more research is needed to fully understand its benefits. As with any new treatment, it is important to consult with a chiropractor to determine if cupping is appropriate for your individual needs and health status.
