Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that uses suction cups placed on your skin to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. The cups create negative pressure that draws blood to the surface, helping your body release toxins and repair damaged tissue.
You might recognize the circular marks left by cupping—elite athletes like Michael Phelps have made them famous. But cupping is not just for athletes. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine to treat pain, inflammation, respiratory problems, and digestive issues. Dr. Boguslavsky combines this time-tested technique with modern medical knowledge to create treatment plans tailored to your specific condition.
Unlike massage that pushes into the muscle, cupping pulls tissue upward and outward. This unique action breaks up adhesions, releases fascial restrictions, and brings fresh blood and nutrients to injured areas. Many patients report immediate relief after their first session.

Common questions about cupping therapy
Most patients describe cupping as a pulling sensation rather than pain. You might feel tight at first, but it usually becomes comfortable as your muscles relax. Dr. Boguslavsky adjusts the suction pressure based on your comfort level and the treatment area.
The circular marks are not bruises—they are caused by blood being drawn to the surface. They are painless and typically fade within 3-7 days. The darker the mark, the more stagnation was present in that area. Many patients wear them as badges of honor, knowing they are healing.
Cupping sessions typically last 45-60 minutes. The cups usually stay in place for 5-15 minutes, though Dr. Boguslavsky may use moving cupping (sliding the cups across your skin) or flash cupping (quickly applying and removing cups) depending on your condition.
This depends on your condition. Acute injuries may improve after 1-3 sessions. Chronic pain or long-standing tension typically requires 6-10 treatments for lasting results. Dr. Boguslavsky develops a personalized treatment plan and adjusts it based on your progress.
