CN Physiotherapy employs cupping therapy to treat pain. This treatment method, also known as “tissue distraction release,” is an ancient form of alternative medicine. It was first used in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern societies to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Do you want to find out more about cupping and how it can help you relieve pain and discomfort while allowing you to resume your normal activities? Request an appointment with CN Physiotherapy in Ottawa, ON as soon as possible!
During cupping therapy, our Ottawa, ON physiotherapists apply inverted rubber pumps or silicone cups to your skin. During treatment, your therapist will suction the pumps/cups onto your skin. As the air in the cup cools, a vacuum is created, causing the skin to rise and the blood vessels to enlarge. This vacuum reduces inflammation and pain while also promoting relaxation and increasing blood flow.
As a result, neural tissues, fascia, skin, ligaments, muscles, and tendons are more prone to dislocation. Cupping therapy relieves trigger points, improves circulation, and helps to break up scar tissue adhesion.
Do you have a medical condition, or have you been injured? As a result, are you finding it difficult to live the life you want? Speak with one of our Ottawa, ON physiotherapists to see if cupping therapy is right for you.
