Although cupping can help relieve the condition of lumbar muscle strain, continuous cupping is not recommended and intermittent cupping is recommended. Cupping has various effects such as relaxing tendons and collaterals, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), reducing swelling and relieving pain (eliminating swelling and pain), etc. It can help relax the lumbar muscles and alleviate the soreness and pain in the lumbar muscles caused by lumbar muscle strain. However, if cupping is continued for several days in a row, it may cause excessive local skin congestion and lead to skin breakdown. In addition, continuous cupping may also deplete positive qi and aggravate the symptoms of lumbar pain. Therefore, continuous cupping is not recommended. If you want to treat lumbar muscle strain by cupping, it is recommended to perform cupping at intervals, resting for 2~3 days after a cupping session before performing the next cupping session, with acupuncture, moxibustion and other treatment modalities in between. It is recommended that people with lumbar muscle strain should go to a regular hospital and have cupping and acupuncture performed by a professional doctor, rather than doing it on their own to avoid adverse consequences.
