Cupping Therapy
Gentle, Supportive Care to Accelerate Healing and Relieve Facial Pain
Cupping therapy is a centuries-old technique that helps release tight fascia, improve circulation, and relieve muscle stiffness. When used in the context of TMJ disorders, myofascial pain, or tension headaches, cupping can break up adhesions, reduce pain, and restore range of motion in the jaw and neck region.
At our Seattle-based specialty clinic, Advanced TMJ Maxillofacial Pain & Sleep Center, we offer targeted myofascial cupping as an adjunct therapy to complement your primary treatment and accelerate functional recovery.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues. It encourages blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and stimulates the body’s natural healing process. At our clinic, we use myofascial cupping specifically tailored for the head, jaw, and neck.
