Cupping Therapy
A traditional therapy designed to relieve tension,
support circulation, and restore balance throughout the body.
What is Cupping?
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing technique that uses gentle suction to stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.
Many patients find cupping deeply relaxing and beneficial for relieving areas of tightness, stress, inflammation, and physical discomfort.
At Santana Acupuncture, treatments are thoughtfully tailored to each individual’s needs and comfort level.
