Does it help with pain and injury recovery? What other benefits does it offer? Let’s dive into that today.
What Does Cupping Treat?
Cupping therapy is commonly used to ease pain-inducing ailments. It has also been said that it may help with chronic health issues and that cupping may ease symptoms of:
Arthritis, most notably rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic back, neck, knee and shoulder pain.
Respiratory issues, like asthma.
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Gastrointestinal conditions, such as Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD)
Headaches and migraines.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure.
How You Benefit from Cupping Therapy in Denver
1. Pain Management
Cupping has been shown to be an effective technique for reducing pain. Evidence also suggests that cupping therapy may help heal scar tissue in deep muscles and connective tissues, alleviate swelling, and reduce muscle tension.
2. Reduces Inflammation.
The suction produced during cupping aids the body in reducing inflammation. It's almost like a reverse massage: a vacuum-like force from the cups results in minor tissue trauma on the affected areas. This pressure triggers the release of fibroblasts, white blood cells, and chemicals to the affected areas, causing your body to quickly initiate the healing process.
3. Boosts Blood Circulation
The application of warm-to-hot cups to the skin can help enhance blood circulation in the affected area. This technique can reduce muscle tension, and enhance cell recovery. This helps to form new connective tissue and promotes the growth of new blood vessels in the area. This occurs by pulling impurities in the body to the surface so your body can more quickly work them out.
4. Eases Chronic Fatigue
Are you struggling with chronic fatigue? A study from the National Library of Medicine found that cupping therapy can be effective in reducing fatigue, improving emotional balance, and promoting better sleep.
5. Scientifically Proven to Relieve Pain
Current findings have suggested that certain outcomes associated with cupping therapy may be connected to its potential theoretical and hypothetical mechanisms of action. Cupping may work by affecting neural, hematological, and immunological processes.
The metabolic theory suggests that cupping therapy helps to reduce pain by decreasing muscle activity. Changes to the skin including redness, blisters, and changes in tissue appearance, which is the red or purple marks you see, could be caused by vasodilation and accumulation of fluid, rather than the infiltration of cells.
