Cupping Therapy

Lift tension. Restore flow. Support healing—where your body needs it most.

At Renew Chiropractic, we believe that healing goes beyond just realignment. That’s why we offer cupping therapy alongside your chiropractic care to help release stubborn areas of tightness, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural recovery processes.

Cupping therapy uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues, targeting muscles and fascia that may be restricted or inflamed. This decompression effect helps improve blood flow, break up adhesions, and release tension that can interfere with movement and delay healing. Whether used on its own or in combination with chiropractic adjustments, cupping helps restore balance to the soft tissue system—so you can move better, recover faster, and feel your best.

DID YOU KNOW?

Cupping therapy doesn’t just relax tight muscles—it also stimulates your lymphatic system, boosts circulation, and supports natural detoxification to help your body recover more efficiently.

Cupping therapy is a modern take on an ancient healing technique that uses negative pressure to lift soft tissues rather than compress them. This unique decompression effect helps release deep muscular tension, improve circulation, and promote mobility in a way that’s different from traditional hands-on therapy.

Unlike other manual therapies, cupping creates space between layers of fascia and muscle, allowing for better nutrient exchange, faster waste removal, and relief from chronic tightness or overuse. It’s especially helpful in breaking through stubborn areas of restriction that haven’t responded to other treatments.

At Renew Chiropractic, cupping is integrated thoughtfully into care plans to complement adjustments and accelerate tissue recovery. Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or alongside other techniques, it offers a powerful way to restore balance, reduce discomfort, and support whole-body healing.

What Conditions Can Cupping Help With?

Cupping therapy can support the treatment of a variety of soft tissue and musculoskeletal concerns, including:

  • Chronic muscle tightness and deep tissue tension

  • Myofascial pain syndrome

  • Postural strain from desk work or prolonged standing

  • Sports-related muscle soreness and recovery

  • Repetitive strain injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, tendinitis)

  • Restricted range of motion and joint stiffness

  • Back, neck, and shoulder discomfort

  • Post-workout recovery and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

  • Circulatory stagnation and lymphatic congestion

  • Scar tissue and adhesions following injury

Who Is Cupping Therapy For?

Cupping isn’t just for spa days or elite athletes—it’s a versatile therapy that benefits:

  • Individuals with physically demanding jobs or daily stress

  • People with poor circulation or fluid retention

  • Patients managing chronic pain or inflammation

  • Those looking to enhance recovery between chiropractic visits

  • Anyone dealing with muscle fatigue, postural strain, or limited mobility

Integrated Care That Complements Your Healing

At Renew Chiropractic, cupping therapy is thoughtfully integrated into your care plan to enhance the effects of your chiropractic treatment. By using cupping to release tension and improve circulation, we help prepare your body to respond more effectively to adjustments and recover more completely between visits.

Cupping may be used before an adjustment to loosen restricted areas, or afterward to support tissue repair and reduce post-treatment soreness. This collaborative approach allows us to meet your body where it’s at—supporting each phase of healing with intention and care.
