Indications for Cupping

It is ALWAYS important to first consider your scope of practice, and ask yourself the following questions:

Do I know WHY this person is suffering from this/these symptoms?

Do I understand the underlying health conditions that may/may not be involved?

Can the increase in local vascularity and circulation potentially cause harm?

It is YOUR responsibility as a practitioner to practice due diligence, and stay within your scope of practice. If you don’t already know about it, you should not use cupping on it. Plain and simple. There are many different levels of training and understanding of the human body, and you must stay within yours.
