Cupping Therapy in North Vancouver

Cupping therapy uses gentle suction from glass or silicone cups to help draw blood flow toward the skin's surface and ease muscle tightness. At Acucure Clinic in North Vancouver, it's often combined with acupuncture in the same visit for patients dealing with tight, tense, or overworked muscles.

What to expect

Our practitioners are trained in both stationary and moving cupping techniques and will choose the method that best suits your needs. Most patients feel a pulling or tight sensation rather than pain. It's common for cupping to leave temporary, round marks on the skin — these are a normal part of the treatment and typically fade within several days to about a week.

Who cupping may not be suitable for

Cupping is not recommended for people with diabetes, individuals on anticoagulants, or those with any kind of bleeding disorder. Let Rozhan know about your health history before your first treatment.

Cupping Therapy — Common Questions

Does cupping hurt?

Cupping is generally not painful. Most patients feel a pulling or tight sensation from the suction, and some describe it as similar to a deep-tissue massage.

Why does cupping leave marks?

The suction can cause small, round marks where blood is drawn closer to the skin's surface. These are not bruises in the injury sense — they're a normal, expected part of the treatment and typically fade within several days to about a week.

Can cupping be combined with acupuncture?

Yes. Cupping is often combined with acupuncture in the same session at Acucure Clinic, and many patients choose the combined treatment.

Who should avoid cupping therapy?

Cupping is not recommended for people with diabetes, those on anticoagulant medication, or anyone with a bleeding disorder. Let Rozhan know about any medical conditions or medications before treatment.
