Cupping Therapy in Franklin, MA
If you suffer from chronic pain or muscle tension and are looking for a natural and effective way to relieve pain and improve your health, cupping therapy may be the right choice.
Cupping therapy is a healing practice used to relieve pain and improve circulation. It is a safe and effective way to get the relief you need in a natural way.
What is Chiropractic Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient alternative medicine in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It helps to draw out toxins and impurities, improve blood flow, relax muscles, and promote lymphatic drainage.
Practitioners use this technique to treat skin, soft tissues, and muscles. Cupping softens tight muscles and muscle attachments, loosens adhesions, and lifts connective tissue. You eliminate unhealthy tissue waste and debris by loosening adhesions, allowing the muscles to function smoothly and efficiently.
Does cupping help lymphatic drainage?
Yes. Swelling and edema associated with injury and inflammation can hold toxins and fluid. Cupping treatment can open the lymphatic system to help drain this excess fluid and help the body reabsorb toxins. Overall, it is a versatile technique that complements additional manual therapy techniques and can be incorporated into a patient’s chiropractic care plan.
