Cupping in Scottsdale
Cupping
Welcome to Health Cellutions
Natural, Non-Invasive Pain Treatment
Cupping is one of the oldest therapies still used for mind and body wellness. This ancient practice has been used for centuries to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle pain, and induce cell growth.
At Health Cellutions in Scottsdale, we use cupping therapy as a non-invasive way to alleviate a number of symptoms, as well as to promote overall well-being!
During cupping therapy, a therapist will place special cups on your skin to create suction, causing the tissue beneath the cup to swell, which then increases blood flow to the area and triggers the release of toxins.

What to Expect
The Cupping Process
1
Consultation
We begin each of our treatments at Health Cellutions with an in-depth consultation. This process is particularly important when it comes to cupping, as it allows us to truly get to know your unique concerns and treatment goals.
2
Cupping Therapy Session
During the cupping session, your provider applies glass cups that have been flamed briefly to create gentle to intense suction. We typically utilize 3 to 5 cups per session, and cups can stay in place for up to 3 minutes. You may feel slight pressure during the cupping process.

Next Steps
Although we recommend taking a day to rest and recuperate, you are free to return to normal activities immediately following the treatment. Because of the suction and the expansion of blood vessels, cupping does cause bruising, but there shouldn’t be any pain associated. This will diminish within 10 days.
