Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of therapy used to decrease pain, inflammation, increase blood flow, promote relaxation of tight musculature, and promote overall well- being. It works by creating a local suction onto the skin and therefore increasing blood flow, help alleviate inflammation, promote relaxation, and decrease muscle spasms. Skin markings are common after cupping that may last a few days to over a week.
Spinal traction is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine. It can be performed manually or mechanically. Spinal traction is used to treat conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and many other back conditions. At CPSIC traction can be incorporated into your treatment plan in addition to other treatment techniques.
Tape can help to increase blood flow in the injured area and decrease swelling which alleviates pain. The elasticity of the athletic tape can also serve as support for the affected muscles. Certain tapes can help with hypermobility. At CPSIC we may utilize tape at the end of the treatment to assist your condition between treatments.
