Cupping Therapy

Relieve Your Aches and Pains with Cupping Treatments

Cupping is a form of pain relief treatment that has been around for an incredibly long time – centuries!

While the popularity of cupping has increased dramatically in recent years, this is not a new technique. In fact, it was originally used by ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern cultures.

Cupping is an ancient type of alternative medicine that utilizes suction by putting cups on the skin.

It is used today as a means of alleviating pain, encouraging relaxation, improving blood flow, and easing inflammation.

How can cupping help me?

Cupping can often be described as a “tissue distraction release” technique. In order to raise and isolate tissue, cups glide over different parts of the body during the cupping process.

This works to increase the release of neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Cupping works to relax the muscles, release trigger points, stimulate lymphatic flow, increase local circulation, and release scar tissue adhesion.

Evidence supports cupping as an effective treatment technique for many disorders, such as chronic neck pain, low back pain, and fibromyalgia.
