Fire cupping is an alternative, non-invasive treatment technique that uses special cups placed on the skin to encourage blood flow to the areas that are damaged. This therapy is often recommended to patients suffering from muscular pain, joint pain, skin problems or respiratory disorders. While fire cupping may be recommended to patients with specific musculoskeletal conditions, it is also ideal for any patient who wishes to heal his or her soft tissue injuries and reduce overall pain and inflammation in the muscles .
