Cupping Therapy

Small glass cups are used to create a partial vacuum against the skin. This is a type of massage that helps to draw blood to the surface, thereby relieving internal congestion. This technique mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. Cupping is another treatment to affect the flow of both Qi and blood through the body. 

Cupping is commonly used for its use in treating muscular pain, bone pain and spasms, particularly in the back, neck and shoulders. Cupping is also used to treat a broad range of medical conditions such as; blood disorders (anemia, hemophilia), rheumatic diseases (arthritic joint and muscular conditions), fertility and gynecological disorders, and skin problems (eczema, acne), and is known to help general physical and psychological well-being.

Though cupping is a safe, considered painless and non-invasive technique - red marks, swelling, and bruises can appear, since the treatment causes blood to be drawn to the surface of the skin. These marks typically disappear within a few hours or days depending on each person.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been practiced in Asia for over 5,000 years, now has grown significantly in the United States as medical doctors, medical researchers, health care providers and the public apply in their health care and spread its benefits widely and rapidly these days.  

Acupuncture provides a means of influencing the pathways and directions of the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body. It is a pathway where every cell, organ, and tissue in your body floats back and forth to be transported. When the energy flows freely, the body is balanced and healthy. However, if the energy flow becomes blocked, the body becomes prone to disease. Stress, physical or emotional strain, overexertion, accidents or incidents, excessive activity, or weakness can all lead to blockages of Qi. Acupuncture needles are inserted into meridians and acupoints (acupuncture points) for optimal organ function and unblocks the damaging or obstruction of your meridians. Meridians are identified that they come closest to the surface. At these points, they found that by strategic insertion of extremely fine needles into the predetermined trigger-points of the body, they could influence the flow of Qi, producing either a stimulating or sedating effect. This procedure brings the body’s energy system back into proper balance, thus eliminating pain and restoring the body’s ability to heal by itself. 

The needles used for acupuncture treatments are very thin and flexible with rounded tips so that they easily and painlessly slide right into the skin. Disposable needles are used so that there is absolutely no chance of transferring infections from one person to another.

Acupuncture has proven to be especially effective in treating conditions of acute and chronic pain. It has also shown to be successful in the treatment of degenerative diseases. The Food and Drug Administration has classified Acupuncture needles as “medical devices” and has approved Acupuncture as a treatment method for various health conditions. Acupuncture is used to (but not limited to) strengthen physical body, prevent disease, control pain and maintain your body's system to your best condition.
