Cupping to release pain and increase immunity

I've enjoyed releasing patients from pain with cupping. because its so effective! The cupping style that I prefer is the glass style of cupping utilizing fire to create a vacuum. This suction promotes blood flow to break up the stagnation and pain in the back. Cupping can be used on other parts of the body as well but typically we are using cupping on the back, specifically the upper and middle portions of the back. The results are a back feeling open, without pain, and increased range of motion.

Because cupping is moving lymph fluids along with blood, immunity is increased by helping the body to flush toxins. There are three main areas of lymph flow in the body: the axilla area (armpit), the neck, and the inguinal groove (bikini lines). Cupping is close to these areas typically and increasing blood and lymph flow to the areas, thereby flushing toxins and improving immune system function.

Cupping is part of your Oriental Medicine complete appointment when you schedule here at Lockhart Acupuncture. Cupping can also be purchased as a stand alone treatment. We look forward to helping you!
