Cupping methods include dry and wet cupping. Dry cupping is a type of vacuum massage. It helps to draw up blood from the deeper tissues thereby promoting blood circulation. Wet cupping method involves the use of a needle to make tiny holes on the skin and then the blood is sucked out through the vacuum cup. The quantity of blood sucked out is directly related to the status of the tissues as bad or unhealthy tissues release more blood because the pressure inside is higher than in normal tissues.

Acu-point Massage is a special Chinese technique done by specially trained medical personnel who have been trained to identify special points on the human body called acupuncture-points or trigger points in some countries. It helps to release tension from the muscle and fascia and balance the alignment of the spine.

Moxibustion involves the burning of a special type of herb called MOXA to generate heat. The essence oil in MOXA penetrates the skin through the heat. This oil can help facilitate healing and also improve blood circulation which is a critical requirement for regeneration and healing.

Acutomo helps to release the tension in the myofascial structures by directly cutting through the abnormal fascia which is tight and thick. The knife is so small that it looks like a needle with a 0.4mm blade at the tip of the needle. This ensures that there is little or no pain or bleeding.

Chiropractic originates from America and involves the technical manipulation of the bony structures of the spine which helps to correct any malalignment. The Chiropractor can detect any abnormality through palpation and x-ray.

There is usually an immediate relief from symptoms. Our Chiropractor was trained and worked in the US for over 20 years. It is safe, effective and comfortable.
In summary, the above stated therapies help in two major ways. First is to improve blood circulation in order to provide a better healing foundation and then secondly is to balance the imbalanced mechanical forces on both sides of the spine. This reduces the pressure on the disc and the nerves, thus preserving the disc for a much longer period of time and ultimately avoiding surgery.
