Cupping and Tennis Elbow: Traditional Relief for Modern Pain

Cupping and tennis elbow may seem like an unusual combination, but this ancient therapy is gaining modern recognition for its ability to relieve chronic joint pain. Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, results from overuse and inflammation of the forearm tendons. Whether caused by repetitive computer use, sports, or manual labor, the pain can interfere with daily life.

Cupping therapy works by creating suction on the skin’s surface, stimulating blood flow, loosening tight muscles, and promoting healing in the underlying tissues. For tennis elbow, cupping is applied to the upper forearm, elbow, and shoulder areas to reduce inflammation and break up stagnation.

At Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic, practitioners tailor cupping sessions to your unique condition, offering natural and effective relief without medication. Experience the combined benefits of ancient wisdom and modern understanding to treat your tennis elbow holistically.
