DURHAM, N.C., April 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many patients report more ease in movement after a cupping treatment. This ancient practice that uses vacuum suction can non-invasively break down muscle adhesions and address restrictions in soft tissues. Professional athletes often turn to cupping to improve performance and address discomfort. Holistic cupping treatments can help patients with chronic discomfort and reduced mobility from a soft tissue injury by decreasing adhesions. Those with sports injuries, personal accident injuries, and auto accident injuries may benefit from a cupping treatment from the Durham chiropractic team at Chiropractic Partners.

Cupping is used by today’s athletes to relieve muscle pain and break down scar tissue. When Michael Phelps participated at the Olympics in Rio, audiences could see the red circular marks on his body. These temporary marks were left from the use of cupping. Cupping was originally developed and used as part of Chinese Medicine and often accompanies an acupuncture treatment. Cupping is used in modern times to address soft tissue tightness and reduce restrictions. Chiropractic Partners in Durham, NC uses cupping to improve mobility by addressing scar tissue and adhesions. Dr. Krasnov has traveled to Colorado Springs to use cupping on Olympic athletes at the US Olympic Training Center Sports Medicine Clinic with great success.

Patients can expect practitioners to apply either glass or plastic cups to the surface of the skin. This non-invasive technique uses vacuum pressure to create a separation between the layers of skin, fascia, and muscle. When movement is applied to the cup, the process can help restore glide and slide to soft tissue layers. Many patients feel more ease in their movements after a cupping session.

“Cupping treatments can improve movement and ease discomfort for patients with soft tissue injuries or adhesions,” said Dr. Michael Krasnov. “As an experienced chiropractor and one of the first chiropractors to use cupping at our practice, I can attest to the visible difference regular cupping has made to patients in Durham and in the athletes that I have had the pleasure of working throughout the course of my career. Many patients are happy with the results of this alternative therapy. Feel free to discuss the option with us and learn more.”
