We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive care to support your well-being. One method we love to use and educate our patients about is the ancient practice of cupping therapy.
​
So, what exactly is cupping? Originating from traditional Chinese medicine, cupping involves creating a suction effect on the skin using specially designed cups. This suction stimulates your body's natural healing processes, encouraging a better flow of energy and blood throughout your body.
​
Here at our practice, we're firm believers in the saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." That's why we incorporate cupping into our wellness programs. It's not just about cracking backs and adjusting necks; it's about total body health.
​
So, why do we recommend cupping therapy to our patients?
​
-
Promotes Relaxation: Just like a massage, cupping can be deeply relaxing. The therapy promotes calm and a sense of well-being, making it a great stress-reliever.
-
Relieves Pain: By increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, cupping can help manage various types of pain, including back and neck pain, which are common complaints among our patients.
-
Boosts Skin Health: Cupping can improve skin health by promoting collagen production, improving elasticity, and reducing acne and skin inflammation.
-
Improves Digestion: If you're experiencing digestive issues, cupping could provide some relief. The practice helps in reducing inflammation, promoting a healthy digestive function.
-
Promotes Detoxification: By stimulating blood flow to the cupped area, the therapy helps to remove harmful substances and toxins from your body.
At our practice, your comfort and safety are our utmost priorities. We ensure to carry out cupping therapy under the most hygienic conditions and with minimal discomfort. The sensation of cupping is unique and often described as a gentle pulling sensation.
​
Keep in mind that it's common for cupping therapy to leave temporary marks on the skin. These are not bruises, but rather indications of the toxins being drawn out of your body. They usually disappear after a few days.
​
In addition to our regular chiropractic services, we believe cupping offers a unique approach to improving our patient's overall well-being. Just as with all our treatments, we'll discuss this therapy with you in detail and answer any questions before proceeding.
We want to ensure cupping is the right fit for your wellness journey. We look forward to guiding you towards greater health and wellness, one cup at a time.
