Cupping Therapy ChiroConcepts McKinney

Cupping is an ancient therapy still used by modern chiropractors to treat a variety of issues. It involves placing suction cups on specific areas of the body, typically the back, and a suction vacuum. Many patients report that cupping helps relieve stress, muscle pains, and other ailments. 

ChiroConcepts of McKinney has experienced therapists who perform cupping treatment at affordable prices. If you are on the fence about receiving cupping treatment, it may be worth looking into the benefits.

Benefits of Cupping

  • Increased blood flow: Cupping forces blood to certain areas of your back, which increases blood flow in the places that need it. This can help improve muscle pain and circulation. 
  • Relieve pain: The biggest benefit of cupping that patients report is that it immediately relieves pain from certain muscles. Being able to reduce pain without medications has helped our patients stay away from addictive painkillers while treating their issues holistically.
  • Speed up muscle recovery: As cupping helps increase blood flow and stimulates your muscles, it helps speed up muscle recovery to the areas of your body that need it. This reduces your recovery time and gets you back to the things you love.
  • Increase range of motion: Many patients find that with back and neck pain, their range of motion has drastically decreased. Cupping can help improve your range of motion and stretching capabilities, as it targets specific muscles that are giving you trouble.
  • Reduce stress and increase relaxation: Patients usually report that cupping helps reduce their levels of stress, while increasing relaxation. Our lives can be very stressful at times, and cupping helps relieve pressure from your pain points. This helps you relax in a safe, therapeutic environment.
  • Decrease myofascial scar tissue: Since cupping works as a type of massage therapy, it helps improve the condition of your myofascial scar tissue. This helps rebuild your tissues while reducing pain and stress.
