Can fire cupping cure cervical spondylosis

Fire cupping has a certain effect on relieving neck and shoulder discomfort caused by cervical spondylosis, and is often used as an adjunctive therapy together with other therapies. According to Chinese medicine, cervical spondylosis is a disease caused by wind and cold or overwork, improper body position, which leads to blockage of meridians and channels in the neck, and impassability of qi and blood, and it mainly manifests itself in neck pain and adverse activities. Cupping has the effect of relaxing the tendons and collaterals, activating blood circulation and eliminating stasis, and relieving pain (eliminating stagnant blood in order to alleviate the pain), and it has a certain effect on relieving the pain of spasm of cervical muscles. Cervical spondylosis requires systematic and standardized treatment, and cupping therapy can be used as an adjunctive treatment and cannot replace other treatments. Cupping therapy is forbidden for cervical skin ulcers, bleeding disorders and pregnant women. Cupping needs to be operated by professional medical personnel. Individuals should not operate cupping therapy in irregular medical places, in order to avoid causing adverse accidents.
