Cupping at Roxy Barber Acupuncture & Aesthetics

Wondering What Cupping Does?

One of the things it can do is help with muscular pain.  It creates negative pressure pulling new, healthy blood into the muscles.  At the same time, it pulls the "garbage" out.  Things like old, dead red blood cells, waste from cellular metabolism, extracellular debris and lactic acid are pulled out of the muscles and into the space between the muscles and the skin.  The "hickey" marks that are left shows how bad the blood stagnation is.  The darker the marks, the worse the blood stagnation and the more you need cupping to help detox the body.  When doing cupping every 7-10 days, the stagnation is able to go away.  Eventually, those marks will no longer show up.  The muscles will get their elasticity back and won't pull incorrectly on other parts of the body causing pain.
