The Benefits of Cupping

Most patients are not familiar at all with the technique of cupping. Typically, after patients google it on their own, they are apprehensive and do not want to try it. While it is true that cupping isn't for everyone, you should not discount it just yet! Cupping is a technique that utilizes plastic, silicone, or glass cups paired with suction and is applied to the skin. This technique is used to pull apart the layers of your skin, fascia, and muscles. It is beneficial to relieve pain, trigger points, and increase blood flow. Based on how long the cups stay on, you may experience bruising after the treatment; remember that this is completely normal! This may be a suggested treatment for you in our clinic, but only if it is in your comfort zone!
