At Star Chiro, we understand that lasting relief often begins in the soft tissues – these muscles and connective fascia that hold your body together. Myofascial Therapy focuses on releasing restrictions in these tissues to help you move freely, reduce pain, and support your chiropractic results.
Myofascial Therapy is a safe, gentle, and effective approach that uses sustained pressure and slow, intentional strokes to release tightness and improve blood flow throughout the body. By freeing these layers of tension, the therapy helps restore flexibility and range of motion while calming the nervous system.
Each Myofascial Therapy session is customized for your body’s needs. Treatments can stand alone or complement chiropractic care and acupuncture to address both muscular and structural sources of discomfort.
At Star Chiro, Fire Cupping focuses on the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue that often hold tension long after an injury or stress has passed. By addressing these tight, restricted areas, Dr. Wei helps restore flexibility, reduce inflammation, and encourage natural movement.

Fire Cupping is a traditional therapy that uses heat to create gentle suction with glass cups on the skin. This suction increases blood flow, loosens tight muscles, and promotes faster healing.
The suction draws blood and oxygen to the targeted area, flushing out metabolic waste and relaxing deep layers of tissue. This process reduces muscle stiffness and encourages your body’s natural recovery response.
Fire Cupping is known to help relieve back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, sciatica, muscle tightness, headaches, stress, and poor circulatio

Absolutely. It’s often combined with Myofascial Therapy, Dry Needling, or Chiropractic Adjustments to enhance relaxation and improve muscle recovery.
The marks show where circulation has increased and where stagnation was released. Darker areas indicate more tension or inflammation and fade naturally within a few days.
For most patients, one session every 1–2 weeks provides consistent benefits. Dr. Tim will tailor the frequency based on your goals and progress.
Those with skin conditions, open wounds, high fever, or certain circulatory disorders should avoid cupping. Dr. Tim will review your health history to ensure it’s right for you.
