Acupuncture Cupping and Gua Sha

  • Cupping is a technique in which a vacuum is created within a cup using heat or suction, and the cup is placed on a patient’s skin; this breaks up adhesions that are blocking the flow of qi and nutrients to different parts of the body.

  • Cupping can stimulate lymphatic and blood flow to an area to remove toxins and facilitate healing. It can be used to treat muscle aches, pains, stress, respiratory diseases, high blood pressure, etc

  • Gua Sha uses a flat, smooth tool to gently scrape the tissues and muscles to break down Muscle adhesions and help fresh blood flow.

  • Gua Sha can be effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems, tension headaches, migraines, chronic neck pain, swelling, anxiety, and fatigue.
