Cupping Therapy
Many of our patients arrive with muscle tension, so at Golden Cosmetic Center we recommend an alternative therapy through cupping that is placed on the skin to create suction and can facilitate healing with blood flow and reduce pain.
This therapy also promotes cell repair and helps form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
What Is Cupping?
Cupping is an alternative therapy in which specialized cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This gentle suction draws blood to the treated area, which can facilitate healing, improve circulation, and reduce pain and tension throughout the body.
Beyond relaxation, the therapy also promotes cell repair and helps form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Conditions Cupping Can Help
Cupping has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It may be particularly effective in alleviating conditions that create muscle aches and pains. Since cups can also be applied to major acupressure points, the practice is even effective for treating conditions that are commonly treated with acupressure, including:
- Muscle aches and pains
- Digestive problems
- Skin problems
- Tension relieved through major acupressure points
