Cupping Therapy

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

What does cupping therapy do?

Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under your skin. Your body replenishes the cupped areas with healthier blood flow and stimulates proper and normal healing at a cellular level. Because of this effect, some people think that cupping releases toxins.

Great deep tissue massage from Savanah. No napping during this treatment, but she did a great job addressing some back/shoulder issues that have been building up over time. A little sore for a couple of days, but already seeing the benefits. I will be back!

I just finished a treatment plan with Dr. Hicke and Dr. Robertson, and feel like I was given a new body!  I have suffered from mild but chronic back and knee pain for years, and thought this was just something you have to live with if you spend most of your working hours on a computer, until I went to see Dr. Hicke who suggested an ART treatment plan to resolve the issues permanently.  After 4 weeks my back and knee pain is gone, I have significantly more mobility and flexibility and just overall feel so much better.  I should have done this years ago!  The facility is nice and modern, and the reception staff are very helpful and friendly.  I would highly recommend Alberta Spine and Sport to anyone looking for outstanding chiropractic care.
