Cupping Therapy in Westminster, CO

Relieve tension. Improve circulation. Recover faster.

You’ve Seen the Marks — But Here’s What Cupping Really Does

Cupping isn’t just for Olympians or spa days.
It’s a powerful therapeutic tool that helps release deep muscular tension, improve blood flow, and jumpstart recovery — especially when paired with clinical care.

At Westminster Sports Chiropractic, I use cupping as part of an integrated treatment strategy for active adults, lifters, runners, and anyone dealing with stubborn pain or tightness.

This isn’t trendy. It’s targeted. And when it’s done right, it works.

What Is Cupping?

Cupping uses suction to create negative pressure over the skin and underlying tissue.
Instead of compressing tissue (like massage), it lifts and decompresses — creating space for blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and neuromuscular reset.

I use dynamic cupping and static cupping based on what you need:

Muscle recovery
Myofascial release
Postural stress relief
Pain reduction

What Does Cupping Help With?

Trap/neck tension
Shoulder tightness and restriction
Low back stiffness
Hamstring or quad tightness
Post-workout soreness
Chronic overuse patterns
Recovery after training or competition

It’s especially effective when combined with:

Adjustments
Dry needling
Soft tissue therapy
Rehab-based movement re-education

Does It Hurt? What About the Marks?

You’ll feel a pulling or pressure sensation — not pain.
Some areas may be more tender depending on tension and congestion.
The red or purple marks are not bruises — they’re a sign of increased circulation and temporary cellular breakdown that kickstarts the healing response.

Most marks fade within 3–7 days.

Why It Works

Cupping creates a local “reset” in tissues that are stuck — not from inflammation, but from poor circulation, stress, or overuse.

By lifting and decompressing the fascia and muscle, we can:

Improve mobility
Reduce pain
Accelerate recovery
Increase tissue hydration and oxygenation

It’s like clearing traffic so your body can actually repair what’s tight, fatigued, or restricted.

Not All Cupping Is Created Equal

Cupping only works when it’s part of a bigger plan.

At Westminster Sports Chiropractic, cupping is never a standalone service — it’s one part of a smart, integrated treatment approach that includes manual therapy, rehab, and performance-driven care.
