Patient getting cold lazer therapy and cupping therapy for low back pain

Come in and get adjusted before the long stressful weekend! 🎄🎅🏼

I’m constantly getting questions about cupping, what’s it for, how does it work, does it hurt, can it help me??

Here’s the facts…
Cupping has been around for the last 500 years, though the methods have changed the results are the same.

Method- cupps are applied to area of heightened sensitivity (trigger points), usually targeting insertion/origin points of muscles. Using a small pump the air is taken out of the cup thus sucking up the skin around that area. The pressure from the cups causes the capillaries (small oxygen rich blood vessels just below the surface of the skin) to burst/leak oxygen rich blood to the surrounding area. Which causes the appearance of a bruise hence the discoloration.

Purpose
- improve circulation by increasing oxygen rich blood
-reduce trigger point hypersensitivity
-promote mobility an restore normal range of motion, partially due to the removal of scar tissue on the tendons/muscle belly.
-removes unwanted toxins in the muscle by promoting lymphatic drainage

Common uses for cupping
-Tendinitis/tendonosis
-frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
-trigger points (areas of heighten sensitivity) muscle shorten an are stuck in contracted phase
-headaches (tension headaches)

Common questions  
-does cupping hurt - there is mild discomfort for a couple minutes but patients usually dont mind cause the results are worth it.
-how long do the marks last for - 4-10 days on average depending on factors such as blood thinners, age, nationality, and clotting factors of your blood.
-how often can I get cupping done- cupping can be performed once original marks from previous session have healed.
-are there any risk factors involved- cupping is very safe, and there is very minimal risk involved.

Any questions call 609-347-1999 and I’ll do my best to answer. If your asking the question could cupping help me. The answer is most likely yes. Call and schedule an appointment with Maria and explore all the wonderful benefits.

Our patient presented with a stiff neck and tight posterior traps. We treated this with an adjustment and a form of ART (active release technique) where we use the cups to pin the muscle while we take it through multiple ROM (ranges of motion). The goal is to reduce inflammation while increasing clean glide of the muscle. 💪🏼

Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, chiropractic manipulation is proven to benefit athletic performance by decreasing pain, increasing range of motion, and even improving hand-eye coordination.

In an article by Baarbé et al. (2018), they found that chiropractic neck manipulation in patients with neck pain reduced cerebral inhibition by 90%, enabling optimum motor abilities or hand eye-coordination skills.

If you’re looking to improve your athletic performance or just want to alleviate some of that neck and back pain, we’re here to help!
