At Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture in Hoboken, NJ, cupping therapy is offered as a powerful complement to our acupuncture services helping patients experience deeper muscle relief, improved circulation, and faster recovery as part of an integrated wellness approach.
Cupping therapy is often incorporated into acupuncture treatments to enhance your healing journey. It’s an amazing technique that provides a range of benefits:
When combined with acupuncture, cupping helps accelerate your recovery, promotes relaxation, and supports overall wellness. If you’re dealing with stubborn muscle pain or stress, it could be just what you need to feel better!
Cupping therapy is a traditional technique in which specialized cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction lifts the soft tissues, helping to release muscle tension, increase blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Unlike massage, which compresses muscles, cupping works by lifting and separating tissue layers, which can be especially effective for deep, stubborn tightness.
At our Hoboken clinic, cupping is typically applied to areas such as the neck, shoulders, upper back, and hips, especially when muscle tension is contributing to pain, headaches, or restricted movement. Patients receiving care for neck pain, headaches and migraines, or sports-related muscle injuries often benefit from combining acupuncture with cupping therapy.
Cupping is most effective when used alongside acupuncture and rehabilitative therapies. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system and reduce pain signaling, while cupping focuses on improving local circulation and muscle mobility. Together, they provide a more comprehensive approach to:
Cupping is frequently included in care plans for patients also receiving chiropractic care or physical therapy as part of a coordinated recovery strategy. Our licensed acupuncturist will determine whether cupping is appropriate based on your symptoms, treatment goals, and overall health.

By improving tissue mobility and circulation, cupping supports the body’s ability to heal more efficiently when combined with other therapeutic approaches.

A: Most patients feel a strong pulling or tight sensation, but it is generally not painful. Many describe it as relieving once the muscles begin to relax.

I m professional ballroom dancer, so I had awful pain in my lower back when I came here first time. Now, after 3 month I feel much better.

Hudson Family Chiropractic is a long standing practice with roots in Hoboken, and real concern for their patients. I always feel great after an adjustment, and look forward to the next.

Saw Dr. Mike and definitely recommend! Have been training for a power lifting meet and came as I’m starting to lift heavier and my back and butt have felt sorer as the weeks go by.
First appointment, was seen on time, quick and painless appointment. The staff was helpful and his work up was great. At the end of my session Dr. Mike didn’t recommend for me to go back which is what I feel usually happens with most chiropractors or PT. Run up my insurance and take advantage of my benefits. I will most definitely be back for adjustments in the future for some maintenance and better health.
I feel like he released like 15 years of tension from my body. Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Suzie! She has helped me so much with PT. She is always so nice and down to earth! I fully recommend seeing her if you are dealing with any sort of pelvic discomfort / pain after birth.

Every time I seem to hurt myself, the team at Hudson Family are always able to put me back together with the extra care that one dreams of but doesn’t always get in a medical office. For over 10+ years I have been going to the office and am grateful for them. Even when I moved out of state, I would make sure to come in for an adjustment when I was back in the area, or would plan a trip just to visit the office. I mean when a doctor is good, you do what you can to stick with them. I highly recommend this office – from the staff to the docs, everyone is exemplary.

My favorite chiropractors ever! Educated me and also listened to me. I am a furniture maker and they helped me get back to work a few different times and also helped me maintain a healthy back when I wasn’t injured.

John saved me from horrible, daily headaches that I was suffering from for 3+ months. I am pretty tolerant to pain but they were bad enough for me to take multiple painkillers with not much effect. I had signed up for pain management doc and the appointment was months away and I figured I’d come back to John who I saw a couple of times before for another issue with my shoulder. After literally 2 visits, I was managing without painkillers and with maintenance sessions, headaches are practically gone. He *always* has a warm smile and encouraging words, I am so grateful to have found someone whose expertise I trust and who I genuinely enjoy seeing. I’ve sent my mom and my brother to him! And if he can’t do much for your issue – he will tell you straight up. Outstanding!

I couldn’t be more grateful for John’s expertise today. I had knocked my talus bone out of place while rehearsing dance for a Broadway show which was causing ankle sprain symptoms and a lot of pain (couldn’t bare weight let alone dance). He generously spent time listening and assessing me to make a measured adjustment and gave me relief that I wasn’t quite able to access via two PT sessions at another location. I will absolutely be returning and I am very thankful this office exists! Thank you, John!!

Great chiropractic care. They have helped me heal from sports and “everyday life” injuries for many years.

Exceptional service at the front desk at this clinic. Doctor Mike was excellent and really diagnosed the cause of pain on my back which was killing me for eight days. Literally left the office feeling so much better on the very first visit. The friendliness and professionalism was luxury. I can not wait to see the doctor again and continue to see and feel the results of my healing. Highly recommended. Amazing and relaxed atmosphere too.
