Effective Relief with Static & Dynamic Cupping at Move Chiropractic
​
Cupping therapy has been used for centuries as a natural way to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and boost recovery. At Move Chiropractic in Angier, NC, Dr. David Carter integrates both static and dynamic cupping into individualized care plans to help patients move better and feel their best.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is a soft tissue therapy that uses suction cups to create negative pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This suction helps lift and decompress tight muscles and fascia, stimulate blood flow, and promote natural healing. Cupping is known for producing circular marks on the skin — a sign of increased circulation to the area.
Static vs. Dynamic Cupping
-
Static Cupping involves placing cups on specific trigger points or tight areas and leaving them in place for a few minutes. This is ideal for deep muscle release and breaking up stubborn adhesions.
-
Dynamic Cupping incorporates movement. Dr. Carter may glide the cups across the skin or guide you through active stretches while the cups are in place. This method targets larger areas, improves mobility, and enhances the body's range of motion.
Conditions Cupping May Help
Cupping therapy is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
-
Neck and back pain

Shoulder tension and rotator cuff issues
-
Sciatica and hip tightness
