What is CUPPING THERAPY IN EDEN PRAIRIE MN?

Cupping is when a small pump is used to slowly pull oxygen out of the cup to create suction. The cup is placed on the skin and the oxygen within that cup is removed to create a vacuum effect. This suction anchors the cup to the skin and increases the blood flow to the area creating an influx of nutrients to the area. Think of it as the opposite of massage-instead of pressing down on the muscle, a light pressure pull it up. Although it's just a short period of time that the cups are under this pressure, there are an immense amount of benefits seen!

The best part about cupping is it doesn't hurt, the marks left behind are not bruises, you will see relief from cupping and best off all the treatment is quick (10 minutes), easy and most see relief within minutes!

Cupping Therapy

By itself cupping isn't a long-term fix. It doesn't correct musculoskeletal problems, but it provides relief from the symptoms. However, paired with regular chiropractic care, it can greatly reduce pain while your regular spinal adjustments directly address musculoskeletal issues. In this way, cupping is similar to acupuncture or massage-great for temporary relief of pain and excellent complementary treatments to chiropractic care.
