What is Cupping?
Cupping therapy, offered at our chiropractic office, is a therapeutic technique that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, promote relaxation, and enhance the body's natural healing processes. Cupping therapy can be particularly effective for individuals dealing with chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and inflammation. It has been shown to help alleviate symptoms of conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and lower back pain. Research suggests that cupping therapy may also help reduce anxiety, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. Studies, such as those published in PLOS ONE (2015) and Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2017), demonstrate its effectiveness in pain management and recovery. Our trained chiropractors will tailor cupping treatments to meet your specific needs, whether for relaxation, pain relief, or injury recovery. By incorporating cupping into your chiropractic care plan, you can experience a holistic approach to health and wellness.
