Knee cupping to reduce pain to leech therapy, are these 2 methods effective?

Knee cupping is one of the methods of traditional medicine to reduce joint pain, especially knee pain. This procedure involves making small incisions in the skin and using suction to remove a small amount of blood from the body. In general, cupping is known as one of the common methods in traditional Islamic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and its purpose is to balance the flow of energy in the body and eliminate toxins and inflammations. Limited scientific research has been done on the effectiveness of knee cupping in reducing knee pain. Some studies have shown that cupping can reduce the pain of joint diseases such as arthritis. In these cases, reducing inflammation and increasing blood circulation in the knee area have been proposed as possible reasons for the effectiveness of cupping. The exact mechanism of these effects is not yet fully understood, but it appears that cupping can help reduce pain by stimulating the production of anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body. But knee cupping may not be suitable for everyone and it is recommended to consult a doctor or traditional medicine specialist before using cupping. Using cupping as an adjunctive therapy alongside modern medical treatments such as medications and physical therapy may be more effective. It is also important that the procedure is performed by a skilled person under proper hygiene conditions to avoid risks and side effects such as infection. As a result, although knee cupping may be beneficial for some people in reducing knee pain, more scientific and clinical studies by **knee specialists** are needed to definitively confirm its effectiveness and safety. ***Learn more: How long does knee cell therapy take?**
