What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique. It uses glass, bamboo, or silicone cups to create suction on the skin. This process stimulates blood flow, clears energy blockages, and helps the body release toxins. Many people describe it as a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

We provide a wide range of cupping methods, including:

  • Chinese vacuum cupping therapy uses suction pumps for controlled intensity.
  • Magnetic cupping therapy combines suction with magnetic stimulation for deeper healing.
  • Traditional Chinese medicine cupping therapy is a time-honoured technique. 
  • Acupuncture cupping therapy combines cupping with acupuncture for enhanced results.

  • Relieves chronic and acute pain
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Reduces inflammation and stiffness
  • Helps detoxify the body
  • Supports immune system function

How Does Cupping Work?

The suction created by the cups pulls the skin upward, stimulating circulation in the area. This helps move stagnant blood, release toxins, and promote healing in deeper tissues. Depending on your needs, we may use:

  • Dry cupping
  • Wet cupping
  • Massage cupping therapy

Each session is tailored to your condition and comfort level.

I was in bits going there, and I could hardly walk with my lover back frozen like a cement bag. I got the needles and cups. Amazing. I returned to work in three days as I had another session a day before returning to work. Dr Lui knows what he is doing. Polite and gentle, You have to go there to get what I mean.

For months I was trying to beg for help from Irish doctors but all they would do is just give me antibiotics which were making me worse and worse. First time I went to Dr Acu he gave me herbal tea, herbal medicine and did acupuncture. Actually talked to me and was asking me many questions which I loved. Can you believe that in one week I was already 30-40% better!!! He really does look deeper into underlying issues. Will never return to Irish Doctors and keep going to Dr Acu. Wonderful and Brilliant

I recently had surgery on my right arm due to a fracture, along with a carpal tunnel release. I was struggling with intense nerve pain after the procedure, and nothing seemed to help until I started seeing Dr. Lui. His combination of acupuncture and herbal treatments has been life-changing for me. The shooting nerve pain I was experiencing significantly reduced, and I noticed improvements after just a few sessions. Dr. Lui is not only incredibly skilled, but he also takes the time to understand his patients' needs, offering compassionate and personalized care. I am truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking relief from pain or discomfort. His treatments have made a huge difference in my recovery process!

Dr. Lu is a very experienced doctor. After diagnosing me, he prescribed five packets of Chinese herbal medicine, combined with acupuncture treatment. Miraculously, my menstrual cycle has become regular and my menstrual pain has also alleviated a lot. Thank you very much to him.
