Cupping Therapy: Unlocking the Benefits at AAA Innate Therapy Center

Cupping therapy is a widely utilized modality at AAA Innate Therapy Center for treating painful musculoskeletal issues. It is believed to reduce pain, inflammation, improve circulation, soften adhesions and connective tissue, drain toxins, and target deep muscles and soft tissues.

Understanding Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a controversial treatment option, but many physical therapists have found success in using it. Critics argue that it may be placebo or voodoo medicine, but further scientific research is needed to establish its positive, neutral, or negative effects.

The Procedure

Dry cupping at AAA Innate Therapy Center involves the application of plastic suction cups to either dry skin or skin treated with lotion. The lotion facilitates the gliding of the suction cup over the affected area, providing a deep tissue massage. A small, manually-operated suction pump is used to create the suction, which can be adjusted by the physical therapist. Multiple cups may be applied simultaneously to a painful or stiff area, remaining on the skin for 5-20 minutes. Active range of motion exercises can be performed during the treatment. Once the cups are removed, circular red marks, corresponding to the cup’s diameter, may appear on the skin. These marks are temporary and typically subside within a few days.

Safety Precautions

While dry cupping is generally considered safe, it should only be administered by well-trained physical therapists or alternative medicine practitioners. Their expertise ensures that the treatment is performed correctly and minimizes any potential risks.

Conclusion

Cupping therapy offers a promising approach to addressing musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. Although ongoing scientific research is necessary to establish its definitive effects, many physical therapists have witnessed its positive outcomes.
