Acupuncture is a systematic insertion of very fine, hair-thin needles at specific locations throughout the body. Acupuncture works by prompting your body to increase circulation to specific areas of pain and weakness. In addition, it facilitates your body’s innate ability to heal, by engaging your nervous system. Thus leading to a decrease and/or alleviation of pain, improvement in quality of sleep and reduction in inflammation.
Specialized cups that are made of glass, silicone or plastic are applied to areas of pain and/or acupoints. The cups exert negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, which results in the loosening and lifting of the local connective tissue. This action increases blood and lymph flow, which allows cupping to be a great therapy to alleviate pain, respiratory illnesses, circulation disorders, manage stress and so much more.
