Fire Cupping
Ancient Healing. Modern Wellness.
Fire cupping is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine and for good reason. By creating gentle suction on the skin, cupping lifts and separates layers of tissue, releasing deep muscle tension, improving circulation, and activating your body's natural healing response.
At Solarè Acupuncture Clinic, fire cupping is performed by Dr. Nadia Schulkind, DACM, L.Ac., a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Every session is personalized to your body and your needs that day.
What Is Fire Cupping?
Fire cupping uses glass cups and a brief flame to create a vacuum seal on the skin. The suction draws the skin and superficial muscle layer upward into the cup, creating a decompression effect that is the opposite of traditional massage.
Rather than pressing down into tissue, cupping lifts and separates — reaching areas of tension that hands alone often cannot access. The result is a deeply relaxing, therapeutic experience that many patients describe as one of the most effective treatments they've ever received.
Sessions at Solarè are 45 minutes and may include:
• Stationary cupping
• Sliding cupping
• Flash cupping
• Combination techniques
The specific approach is selected based on your presentation and treatment goals.
