Cupping & Fire Cupping in St Paul
At Vitality Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we combine modern chiropractic care with time-tested healing therapies that work in harmony with your body’s natural ability to restore and thrive. Cupping—and its more traditional counterpart, fire cupping—is one of those ancient methods we use to support deeper healing and release.
Find the gentle, natural relief you deserve!
What Is Cupping?
Cupping is a gentle technique where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction increases blood flow to targeted areas, helping to release muscle tension, promote lymphatic drainage, and support your body’s detoxification process. The result? Less tightness, more mobility, and a grounded sense of relief.
What Is Fire Cupping?
Fire cupping is a traditional method that uses a small flame to quickly heat the inside of a glass cup before it’s applied to the skin. As the air cools, it creates a vacuum that draws the skin slightly upward. While the process might sound intense, it’s generally soothing—and many people find it deeply calming and restorative.
Who Is This For?
Cupping is a powerful option for individuals dealing with:
- Chronic muscle tightness (especially in the neck, shoulders, or back)
- Stress and fatigue
- Poor circulation or fluid retention
- Sports injuries or physical strain
- Persistent tension that hasn’t responded to other therapies
It’s also beneficial for anyone looking to improve recovery time, aid in detoxification, or add a holistic tool to their wellness routine.
Why We Use It at Vitality
We use cupping as part of a whole-body approach to care. It complements chiropractic adjustments by relaxing muscles, improving blood flow, and helping your body respond more effectively to other therapies. Each session is tailored to your goals—whether you want deep muscular relief or gentle support for balance and relaxation.
Cupping may leave temporary marks on the skin, which is a normal sign that circulation is increasing and stagnation is being addressed. These marks usually fade within a few days, leaving you feeling looser, lighter, and more connected to your body.
