Healing Through Cupping Therapy in Virginia Beach
Discover Natural Pain Relief at New Life Chiropractic with Dr. Mike Geheren
If you’re looking for a natural way to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and speed up recovery, cupping therapy at New Life Chiropractic in Virginia Beach may be the perfect solution. Dr. Mike Geheren offers this safe, time-tested therapy to help patients heal faster, feel better, and get back to living pain-free.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses suction cups placed on the skin to lift and decompress soft tissue. This technique improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes your body’s natural healing process.
Though cupping dates back thousands of years—used in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern cultures—modern cupping is refined and effective, used by athletes, wellness seekers, and everyday people wanting fast, natural relief.
How Cupping Works
At New Life Chiropractic, Dr. Geheren uses specialized silicone or glass cups to create a gentle suction on the skin. This suction lifts the fascia (connective tissue) and muscle, increasing circulation and drawing nutrient-rich blood to the area.
The result? Improved healing, reduced muscle tightness, and pain relief—without medication or invasive procedures.
Cupping typically lasts 10–20 minutes and can be easily combined with other chiropractic treatments like dry needling, spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and ultrasound therapy.
Why We Use Cupping at New Life Chiropractic
Dr. Mike Geheren integrates cupping therapy as part of a holistic, drug-free approach to treating pain and muscle dysfunction. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or experiencing stress-related tension, cupping can help:
Loosen tight muscles
Improve range of motion
Enhance relaxation
Break up scar tissue
Promote faster recovery
Cupping is especially effective for neck pain, back pain, shoulder tension, muscle knots, and sports-related injuries. Many patients feel immediate relief after just one session.
What to Expect from Your Cupping Session
When you visit New Life Chiropractic in Virginia Beach, Dr. Geheren will perform a full evaluation and determine whether cupping is right for your condition. The treatment is comfortable and calming. You may feel a mild pulling sensation as the suction takes effect, followed by a deep sense of relief as tight areas release.
Afterward, temporary circular marks may appear where the cups were placed. These are not bruises and typically fade within a few days. They are a sign that your body is flushing out stagnation and improving circulation.
