Cupping

Cupping therapy has been practiced for centuries and has gained popularity in the field of physical therapy due to its numerous benefits in promoting healing and relieving pain. At DuPont Wellness Mobile Physical Therapy, this ancient therapeutic technique is offered to patients, skillfully implemented by experienced practitioner, Dr. Corey.


Cupping involves placing cups on specific areas of the body to create a vacuum effect, drawing the skin and underlying tissues upward into the cups. Traditionally, glass or bamboo cups were used, while modern practices have introduced plastic or silicone cups, which are gentler and more flexible. This technique, when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Corey, can address a variety of conditions.


One of the primary uses of cupping in physical therapy is pain management. The suction created by the cups promotes increased blood flow to the affected areas, which helps reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing process. Cupping has shown remarkable efficacy in treating conditions like neck and back pain, muscle tension, and sports injuries. It can also ease joint stiffness and improve range of motion.


Beyond pain relief, cupping is known to stimulate the body's natural detoxification processes. It helps remove metabolic waste, releases toxins, and promotes lymphatic drainage, which aids in improving overall body functioning. This process enables the body to better heal itself and enhances the effects of other physical therapy treatments, such as manual therapy or therapeutic exercises.


Dr. Corey understands the intricate art of cupping and its application within the context of patient-centered care. He assesses each patient's unique needs and tailors a cupping treatment plan accordingly.
