One study found that cupping was significantly more effective than conventional treatments for pain relief in patients with chronic neck pain (1).

Muscle Tension: Cupping has been shown to decrease muscle tension and increase range of motion in patients with chronic neck pain (2).

Inflammation: Cupping has been shown to reduce inflammation in patients with various conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, and chronic low back pain (3, 4, 5).
