Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which the Chiropractor puts specialized vaccum cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. It's great for pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and overall well-being. It can also be used as a type of deep-tissue massage to remove knots and adhesions in your muscles.
Types of Cupping Therapy:
Stationary Cupping: The cups are placed onto the skin and left in one one location for the duration of the therapy.
Sliding Cupping: Following the placement of the cups onto the area of discomfort, the doctor glides the cup over the muscle fibers. The cup can be moved with the muscle fibers or against the muscle fiber depending on the needs of the patient.
Dynamic Cupping: Following the placement of the cups onto the area of discomfort, the cups remain stationary and the doctor walks you through several movements to assist with the tissue mobilization.
Needling Cupping: Stationary cups are applied with acupuncture or dry needling to assist with directed affects.
