Therapeutic cupping is a form of soft tissue therapy that promotes healing, reduces muscle tension, and improves blood circulation to injured or overused areas. At Lock Chiropractic in San Francisco, we use cupping therapy to support your recovery from chronic pain, repetitive strain, and sports-related injuries.​

​

By creating suction on the skin, cupping lifts and separates soft tissue layers, helping to:

• Increase blood flow and nutrient delivery

• Break up adhesions and muscle knots

• Improve range of motion and joint flexibility

• Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness

This technique is especially effective for back and shoulder tightness, chronic muscle pain, and limited mobility caused by repetitive motion or posture-related strain.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy:

• Natural relief for muscle tightness and pain

• Enhances circulation and speeds up recovery

• Complements chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies

• Helps improve performance and reduce fatigue in athletes

• Supports healing in overused or injured areas

Cupping therapy has been used for centuries and continues to be a trusted method to reduce pain, improve function, and promote holistic well-being.
