Cupping Therapy in Benfleet

cupping theraphyAt Spinal and Natural Healthcare Centre, we offer cupping therapy, an ancient healing technique used for centuries to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and boost circulation. This non-invasive therapy involves placing specialised cups on the skin to create suction, which pulls the skin and underlying tissues upward. This process stimulates blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage, and relieves muscle and connective tissue tension.

An Ancient Technique for Modern Healing

Cupping therapy uses suction to draw blood to the skin’s surface, helping break up stagnation and improve the flow of energy, or “qi,” throughout the body. This increase in circulation supports healing and recovery in stiff, sore, or injured areas. Cups are placed on different parts of the body, including the back, shoulders, legs, and arms, depending on the patient’s needs.

Our clinic focuses on dry cupping, a common and gentle form of treatment. During sessions, cups are typically left on the skin for 5 to 15 minutes, with the gentle suction helping to relax muscles and reduce pain.

What Are Some Benefits?

This technique can help in the following ways:

  • Pain Relief – reduces muscle tension, joint pain, and chronic pain
  • Improved Circulation – suction increases blood flow to targeted areas, enhancing healing and recovery
  • Detoxification – by drawing out toxins, cupping therapy promotes detoxification and supports the body’s natural healing
  • Reduced Inflammation - helps decrease inflammation in painful areas, speeding up recovery
