Cupping
Used to relieve pain & detox
Cupping is often used to alleviate back and neck pain, but can be also used for anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and insomnia. It is also effective in relieving symptoms of the common cold, cough, and asthma. Based on your initial consultation with a licensed practitioner, you will receive an individualized treatment plan that will include acupuncture and other potential modalities like cupping.
What happens to the body
Every muscle and organ is surrounded by connective tissue called fascia. This fascia surrounds us like saran wrap and helps give our body structure. When fascia is dehydrated or inflamed, our muscles can stick to one another causing pain and limited mobility.
How cupping works
The negative pressure provided by fire cupping relieves spasms and adhesions and helps loosen the muscles by physically separating this fascia. This promotes oxygenation of the tissue, improving circulation and as a result, detoxifies the body. Marks may appear on the body and the darkness and intensity show how much toxicity has built up. They can take 3-10 days to fade depending on the strength and energy of the individual.
