Cupping! One of my favorite ways to support folks with muscle pains, especially in the upper back and shoulders. Small cups like this are useful in curved areas because they maintain suction better.
Cups use a vacuum (which can be generated with a hand pump, as in this set, or with fire) to lift tissue up away from the body, helping create more space between layers of fascia and muscle. The bruising that occurs is actually diagnostic for your provider - dark bruises indicate stagnation, pale bruises indicate deficiency, and so on - and is a normal and expected outcome during cupping.
Facial cupping uses much a weaker vacuum and can be done without any bruising.
Cups can be left in place, creating the distinctive circular bruising, or they can be slid along the skin with the aid of a massage creme or oil. Most of my clients love sliding cupping! They say it's relaxing and feels great.
Send me a message or visit my website to learn more about cupping!

I LOVE doing moxa on the needle 🔥🔥🔥
Moxa warms, moves, dispels cold... It's one of the only ways I can add energy to the system as an acupuncturist (otherwise I'm dependent on you eating, sleeping, and drinking fluids). I focus a lot of my acupuncture work on helping people get into right relationship with their own body/mind/spirit so they can better care for themselves, to give themselves that energy. And, moxa is an excellent tool to add to the mix.
The points here are used to relax muscles that surround nerve tissue. When these muscles get really tight they can cause severe pain and even neurological symptoms like numbness and tingling. By using moxa on the needle, we can convey the heat directly into the muscle tissue. The resultant melting of tension can help clients find quick pain relief.
If you need a good thaw, you know where you can find me.

Neck is cranky so using some Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture to help it out this morning.
I got bodywork the last couple of days (massage with and chiropractic with .chiro yay!) and my body is still working out the kinks, which is common. So this is a great example of how massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture make a great team for pain. Pains often get worse before they get better (described as Law of Cure in homeopathy) and acupuncture can help provide analgesia (pain relief) while the structural changes from other interventions settle, while aiding in the relaxation needed to prevent the structures from misaligning again.

My preferred pronouns are they/them. I don't like being called ma'am or sir, just call me Grace. I don't like being called momma, or girl, or queen.

It's hard to learn how to stand up for oneself and ask for what you want, but it's worth doing when you know what's right for you. It's ok if you're still figuring it out. You're encouraged to be a work in progress - none of us has it all figured out!

Po sum on oil $33
