\"image-acupuncture-cupping-columbus<\/a>We have noticed that certain conditions seem to improve much more quickly when we use cupping to regular acupuncture treatments.\u00a0 We recommend several cupping sessions for almost everyone who comes in with upper back and lower back tension.\u00a0 It is our go-to treatment for those tight traps and the tension between the scapula and spine, and many people feel a profound improvement almost immediately.\u00a0 Ask your acupuncturist if this would be a good adjunct with your current acupuncture treatments.<\/p>\n

Cupping is a technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture. Cupping pulls blood to a region to stimulate healing. It is effective at releasing tight fascia and muscles. Cupping helps the tissues develop new blood flow and also stimulates anti-inflammatory chemicals in the body. That\u2019s why it works so well for pain.<\/p>\n

So how does cupping work?<\/h3>\n

As we age, especially after 40 years old, our bodies begin to break down. This includes loss of muscle, the formation of adhesions in fascia and a decrease in blood flow. You can see this as your muscle tone decreases, we get stiffer and wrinkles start to appear in new places. As we move less and decrease our physical activity the blood supply to tissues decrease, and the fascia gets knotted and scarred up, further limiting movement and it becomes a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n

Initially, it pulls blood into an area (no bleeding involved, it is under the skin). As new blood is forced into the tissues around the cups the body will begin to develop new blood vessels called neovascularization, new blood vessel formation. We believe this is why cupping can cause a lasting effect. As the new vessels form, they will have the capability to feed the tissues with nutrients and oxygen.<\/p>\n

Next, the fascia and tissue can be stretched with cupping. \u00a0The new blood vessels are forming and the blood and nutrients are starting to flow to the affected area. When you put cups on the back or around the injured area it can begin to stretch the connective tissue and fascia for better movement. Many people start out very tight but over a series of treatments, generally 3 to start with, the area becomes much more loose.<\/p>\n
