Cupping Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ
Metabolic tissue change and pressure pain thresholds have been found with dry cupping. Increases in blood flow (hyperemia) occur. This increased blood flow or vasodilatation appear to also increase tissue temperature and appears to increase capillary endothelial cell repair, accelerated tissue granulation, and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) in the local treated tissue.
It promotes a rise in the lactate/pyruvate ratios which indicated an increase in the anaerobic metabolism of the localized tissue, What this means is the potential for a rise of key ischemic (low oxygen) chemical mediators that are involved with promoting cellular/metabolic adaptation, and tissue recovery.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy works by creating suction on the skin, stimulating blood flow, and encouraging the body’s natural healing process. Key benefits include:
- Increased Blood Flow – Promotes hyperemia (enhanced circulation) to nourish tissues and aid recovery.
- Tissue Healing & Regeneration – Stimulates capillary endothelial cell repair and new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis).
- Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery – Alleviates tension, improves mobility, and speeds up healing from injuries.
- Metabolic Adaptation – Enhances anaerobic metabolism, promoting cellular recovery and adaptation.
- Reduced Inflammation – Helps clear toxins and reduce swelling in targeted areas.
How Cupping Therapy Works
Cupping involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction, which lifts and separates soft tissue. This process increases local blood flow, encourages tissue oxygenation, and supports the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Cupping therapy is beneficial for:
- Chronic pain relief
- Athletic recovery
- Muscle stiffness and tightness
- Postural imbalances
- Stress and tension reduction
