We finally have reached a new topic today still over the different types of manual therapy but a different type which is Top Sugar Land Chiropractors cupping therapy. Wow I am excited for this one. Why? Because I have seen videos of it, and it just looks so relaxing so today you will learn what it is and the purpose of it. So, what is cupping? Cupping is a healing therapy that people have been doing to ease pain. Where can the cups be placed? So, they can be placed on the back, arms, legs, and stomach. There is a vacuum, or I should say suction force which pulls the skin upwards. How does cupping work and who performs it? These are some professionals that cab be trained to perform cupping and those are acupuncturists, chiropractors and massage therapists which are the most common too do this service. But medical doctors and physical therapists are also able to perform cupping if they received the proper Top Sugar Land Chiropractors training for it. Now let us get into how it works. The suction from the cupping actually draws fluid into the treated area. So, the suction is able to expand and break open your capillaries which are tiny blood vessels that are under the skin. For it to stimulate a natural healing process more blood is being sent to that area to allow that healing process. What can cupping help with? Cupping can be used to relieve conditions that cause the pain. So, if you have any of the following you may want to give cupping at try to see if it helps you.
1. Arthritis
2. Back pain
3. Knee pain
4. Neck pain
5. Shoulder pain
6. Carpal tunnel syndrome
7. Headaches and migraines
8. High blood pressure
So, there you go these are a few things cupping can help with, and I am sure there are more. So, there are actually different types of Top Sugar Land Chiropractors cupping. What do I mean by this? So, some will use regular plastic cups that you normally see or there can be, glass, silicone, ceramic or bamboo cupping. Crazy right! I am honestly interested in seeing the bamboo cupping because I have not seen that yet. We will now get into hos is cupping performed. Every professional that is certified to do this service does it differently. So, some things I mention here may be slightly different from a chiropractor or massage therapists. So, whatever professional you choose to go with they will place several cups over and around the area you are feeling pain for several minutes. At times some Top Sugar Land Chiropractors professionals will move the cups to stretch and massage that area. There are two different types of cupping methods which you will have to wait for the next blog to learn about the two different methods.
