You’ve tried stretching. You’ve tried rest. You’ve seen doctors who gave you the same advice that didn’t work the first time.
Cupping therapy works differently. It draws fresh blood into the exact areas where you’re hurting, which means oxygen and nutrients finally reach the tissues that need them. That’s not theory—that’s how your body heals when circulation improves.
Most people feel the difference after one session. Tight shoulders loosen up. Lower back pain that’s been nagging you for months starts to fade. You can turn your neck without wincing.
The treatment itself takes anywhere from five to sixty minutes depending on what you need. Some patients come weekly because that’s when they see the best results. Others use it as part of a broader physical therapy plan to speed up recovery from an injury or surgery.
This isn’t about masking symptoms. It’s about giving your body what it needs to actually repair itself—better circulation, reduced inflammation, and relief from the tension that’s been holding you back.
We’ve been serving Long Island for over a decade. We’re not new to this, and we’re not experimenting on you.
Our team uses cupping therapy the way it’s meant to be used—integrated with physical therapy, backed by research, and personalized to what’s actually wrong. We accept Medicare and most commercial insurance, so you’re not paying out of pocket for care that should be covered.
New Hyde Park residents come to us because we treat you like family, not a number. You’ll get a full evaluation that considers your medical history, your daily routine, and what’s keeping you from living the way you want to. Then we build a plan that makes sense for your body and your schedule.
We’re here because this community needs accessible, professional care that actually works. That’s what we’ve been doing since day one.
First, we evaluate you. That means talking through your pain, your history, and what you’ve already tried. We’re not guessing—we’re listening.
Then we apply the cups to specific areas where you’re experiencing pain, tightness, or restricted movement. The suction pulls your skin up slightly, which increases blood flow to that area and helps release the fascia and muscle tissue underneath. It’s not painful. Most people say it feels like a deep tissue massage, but without the pressure.
The cups stay on for a few minutes, sometimes longer depending on the area and the severity of your condition. You might see some circular marks afterward—that’s normal and they fade within a few days. Those marks are just evidence that stagnant blood and toxins are being drawn out.
After the session, many patients notice immediate relief. Your muscles feel looser. Your range of motion improves. The pain that was a seven out of ten might drop to a three.
We’ll talk about how often you should come back. Some people need weekly sessions. Others come in every other week once they start feeling better. It depends on your condition and your goals, and we’ll adjust the plan as you improve.

We use dry cupping, which means no needles, no incisions, and no invasive procedures. Just suction cups applied to your skin to improve circulation and release tension.
This works especially well for chronic pain conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments. Neck pain, back pain, shoulder tightness, muscle strains—these are the issues we see most often in New Hyde Park, and they’re the ones cupping therapy handles best.
Many of our patients combine cupping with physical therapy. That combination gives you faster results because you’re not just relieving pain—you’re also rebuilding strength, improving flexibility, and preventing the problem from coming back. It’s a more complete approach than just treating symptoms.
Long Island residents deal with a lot of stress-related tension, poor posture from desk jobs, and overuse injuries from staying active. Cupping addresses all of that by calming your nervous system, reducing inflammation, and promoting natural detoxification at a cellular level.
You’ll leave each session feeling lighter, looser, and more capable of doing the things that have been difficult. And because we accept insurance, you’re not choosing between your health and your budget.
Cupping therapy has been used for over 2,000 years across multiple cultures, and recent research backs it up. Studies show that cupping effectively reduces pain in patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions—more effectively than some conventional treatments.
It works by increasing blood flow to painful areas, which delivers oxygen and nutrients your tissues need to heal. It also helps release tight fascia and muscle knots that restrict movement and cause ongoing discomfort.
The reason it became trendy is because Olympic athletes like Michael Phelps used it publicly and people saw results. But the science was already there. It’s not a fad—it’s a legitimate treatment that physical therapists, chiropractors, and licensed acupuncturists have been using successfully for years.
If you’ve been dealing with pain that hasn’t improved with other methods, cupping gives your body a different pathway to healing. Most of our patients notice a difference after the first session, and those who come weekly report the most significant long-term benefits.
A typical cupping session lasts anywhere from five to sixty minutes depending on the areas being treated and the severity of your condition. If we’re targeting one specific problem area, it might be shorter. If we’re addressing multiple areas or combining cupping with physical therapy, it takes longer.
How often you come in depends on what you’re dealing with. For chronic pain or ongoing muscle tension, weekly sessions tend to produce the best results. Once you start feeling better, you might drop down to every other week or use cupping as needed when pain flares up.
Some people schedule regular sessions for muscle recovery and stress relief, similar to how you’d get a massage. Others use it as part of a structured physical therapy plan with a clear start and end date.
We’ll talk through your goals during your evaluation and recommend a schedule that makes sense. You’re not locked into anything—we adjust based on how your body responds and what’s working for you.
Yes, cupping often leaves circular marks that look like bruises, but they’re not painful and they fade within a few days to a week. Those marks happen because the suction draws stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, which is actually part of the healing process.
The treatment itself doesn’t hurt. Most people describe the sensation as a tight pull or pressure, similar to a deep tissue massage. It’s not sharp or painful—it’s more like a release. Some areas might feel tender if you’re already dealing with significant muscle tightness, but it shouldn’t be unbearable.
If at any point the suction feels too intense, we can adjust it. The goal is therapeutic relief, not discomfort.
The marks fade faster if you stay hydrated and keep moving. They’re temporary and they’re a sign that the therapy is working. If you’re concerned about how they look, just plan your sessions around times when you won’t be wearing clothing that exposes the treated areas.
Absolutely. Cupping works well alongside physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and even acupuncture. In fact, combining treatments often leads to better outcomes because you’re addressing the problem from multiple angles.
For example, if you’re already doing physical therapy to rebuild strength after an injury, adding cupping can speed up your recovery by improving circulation and reducing inflammation in the affected area. If you’re seeing a chiropractor for alignment issues, cupping helps relax the muscles so adjustments hold better and last longer.
We’ll coordinate with any other providers you’re working with to make sure everything fits together. You’re not choosing one treatment over another—you’re building a plan that gives you the best chance of getting better.
Just let us know what else you’re doing during your evaluation. We’ll make sure cupping complements your existing care instead of complicating it.
We accept Medicare and nearly all commercial insurance plans, so there’s a good chance your cupping therapy is covered—especially when it’s part of a physical therapy treatment plan.
Coverage varies depending on your specific plan and whether cupping is being used as a standalone treatment or integrated with other physical therapy services. We’ll verify your benefits before you start so you know exactly what to expect.
If you do have out-of-pocket costs, we’ll go over those upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know what you’re paying before we begin treatment.
The goal is to make this accessible. Too many people avoid getting help because they assume it’s too expensive or their insurance won’t cover it. We handle the insurance side so you can focus on feeling better.
Cupping therapy works best for musculoskeletal pain and tension-related conditions. That includes chronic neck and back pain, shoulder tightness, muscle strains, trigger points, and restricted range of motion.
It’s also effective for reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting faster recovery after injuries or surgery. Many of our New Hyde Park patients use it to manage stress-related muscle tension, especially if they have desk jobs or physically demanding routines that lead to overuse injuries.
If you’ve been dealing with pain for months or years and traditional treatments haven’t worked, cupping gives your body a different way to heal. It’s non-invasive, evidence-based, and it addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms.
We also see great results when cupping is used preventatively. If you’re an athlete or someone who’s active and wants to avoid injury, regular cupping sessions help keep your muscles loose, your circulation strong, and your recovery time short.
