Acupuncture & Cupping Services

At ABD Naturals, we are proud to offer acupuncture and cupping therapy, two ancient healing techniques designed to restore balance, alleviate pain, and promote overall wellness. Our treatments are personalized to each client’s needs, combining traditional methods with a holistic approach to help you achieve optimal health and well-being.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a centuries-old practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body, we help to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, balance the flow of energy (Qi), and alleviate a variety of health concerns.

Benefits of Acupuncture:

• Relief from chronic pain (back pain, neck pain, arthritis)
• Alleviation of stress and anxiety
• Improved sleep and relief from insomnia
• Support for digestive issues (IBS, indigestion)
• Enhanced immune function
• Treatment for headaches and migraines

Our certified acupuncturists take the time to understand your unique health goals and tailor each session to target your specific symptoms.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is another time-honored practice designed to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote deep relaxation. Using specially designed cups, gentle suction is applied to specific areas of the body, creating negative pressure that helps to loosen tight muscles, detoxify, and alleviate pain.

Benefits of Cupping:

• Muscle tension relief (especially for athletes and individuals with active lifestyles)
• Reduction of swelling and inflammation
• Improvement of circulation
• Assistance in the recovery of sports injuries
• Relaxation and reduction of stress and fatigue

Cupping therapy can be used alone or in combination with acupuncture for enhanced therapeutic benefits.
