We all know when we were kids; we were all afraid of needles. Even as adults, some of us are still afraid of needles and have needle phobia. Well, Eastern Medical Center has options when it comes to needle phobia. Another solution for kids beside Acupuncture and Acupressure is Cupping. Cupping is another way of getting blood to circulate within the body by suction of a muscle into a special cup. A suction can be created within a cup through a pump thats sucks the air out of the cup and forces the muscle within. Another way of creating a suction is by using a flame to quickly heat a cup and when it cools down, creates a vacuum for the muscle to be sucked in. When performing Cupping, our doctors will examine the body through touch and feel for knots, tightness, inflammation, and any other abnormalities to determine exactly where to place the cups. These precise points where the cups are placed will concentrate the flow of blood to that area, replacing deplete blood of their nutrients with fresh blood. Cupping can be use to treat many pain based conditions like back pain, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia. For athletes who aren't hurt, the increase blood flow from cupping can boost athletic recovery by repairing muscle fibers after a tough workout.
Nicole S. likes to spend much time with her boyfriend and friends socializing and traveling since she began driving, but lately, Nicole has been having lower back pains that has prevented her from doing so.
