What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that some people use to ease pain. A provider places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. A vacuum or suction force inside the cup pulls your skin upward.
Cupping therapy is a form of traditional medicine that originated in China and West Asia. People have practiced this method for thousands of years.
Other names for cupping therapy include cupping, cup therapy and suction cup therapy.
What does cupping therapy do?
Cupping uses suction to draw blood to or away from specific areas of your body. People mostly use cupping to relieve conditions that cause pain. Some people say it also helps with chronic (ongoing) health issues. Cupping may ease symptoms of:
Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis.
Back pain, neck pain, knee pain and shoulder pain.
Asthma and other breathing issues.
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like irritable bowel disease (IBD).
Headaches and migraines.

EXCELLENT Based on 232 reviews Posted on Lori ParkisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing a chiropractor for many years after a neck fusion surgery. Doctor does maneuvers that I’ve never had done before. I have seen many chiropractors that would not even adjust me. He is the best chiropractor in Palm Harbor, Florida. Thank you Doctor for helping me With your expertise.Posted on Jeff ParkisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dr. Bly's entire team is top-notch. Everyone from the front desk to the massage therapist, everyone is efficient and friendly. Dr. Bly is very thorough and precise in his diagnosis. He's professional and knowledgeable, his background is evident, and he provided me with insights that other doctors missed. I trust him completely!Posted on Lilly BurnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Started coming to Dr. Bly for prenatal chiropractic early in my second trimester. Now I’m nearing my due date with no lower back pain. I can’t recommend Dr. Bly and his amazing office enough!Posted on Jamie MalatiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best experience. Dr and staff are great!Posted on Michael RebarchakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second experience with Dr. Bly both times for onset of back pain. On both occasions, he recognized the problem immediately and my back was feeling much better after just a few sessions.Posted on Tara WeldonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Bly and his staff are wonderful, very efficient and accommodating. Highly recommend them!!Posted on Eileen BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While I was working at a desk job for several years, I had gone to be adjusted by Dr. Bly at North Pinellas Chiropractic. I stopped last year once I retired. Big (huge) mistake! I didn't realize how much I was out of alignment, until the hip pain returned and my walking became much more difficult. I got in to see Dr. Bly recently and was adjusted. What a relief! I questioned why I had ever stopped and made it my priority to get in on a regular basis again! Keeping my health in check is my main goal and Dr. Bly will help me attain it!
