Is Cupping Helpful for My Pain?
At our clinic, one question we hear regularly is: “Will cupping help my pain?” Cupping has become increasingly popular for neck pain, back pain, muscle tension, and recovery. Some people feel immediate relief, while others are unsure whether it is backed by evidence. The honest answer is: cupping may help reduce pain in the short term, but it is usually not the main solution for long-term recovery. What the Research Says A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMJ Open examined cupping therapy for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The review found that cupping therapy can reduce pain intensity, particularly in the short term and immediately after treatment. However, the same review found cupping did not significantly improve function or disability. In simple terms, people may feel less pain after treatment, but that does not always mean they move better, feel stronger, or return fully to normal activity. This

5 Minutes of Exercise a Day: An Easy Way to Lower Dementia Risk
Imagine this: moving for just 5 minutes a day—like a quick walk or some chair squats—could cut your chance of getting dementia by 60%. Too good to be true? Nope, it’s real! Scientists at Johns Hopkins found an easy way to keep your brain healthy as you get older. Here’s what they did: they watched almost 90,000 people (around 63 years old) in the UK, using wrist trackers to see how much they moved. After about 4 years, 735 people had dementia. But those who did 35 minutes a week of faster exercise—that’s as little as 5 minutes a day—had 60% less risk than people who didn’t move much. More moving, like 10 minutes a day, worked just as well or better! The cool thing? You don’t have to be super strong. Even older folks who feel weak or wobbly got the same brain boost.
