SOFT TISSUE CUPPING TECHNIQUE
Soft tissue cupping is a technique performed by our Chiropractic team that utilizes decompression of the soft tissue to lift and separate the upper layers of the soft tissue to help relieve the tension of the associated muscles. It helps to circulate blood flow, release adhesions, and improve mobility in the affected area(s). This, in turn, helps to reduce pain and symptoms associated with the soft tissue injury.
Soft tissue cupping is successful for treatment of both athletes and non-athletes alike. It is often used to target symptoms associated with back or neck pain, calf or hamstring injuries, rotator cuff injuries, golfers or tennis elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome, nad to improve overall muscle tightness or soreness, and to help promote relaxation.

Nerve flossing is a technique used by our Chiropractic practitioners to combine manual soft tissue techniques and prescribed homecare exercises that are designed to help improve mobility and relieve pain that is caused by “stuck”, compressed, or irritated nerves. It helps to improve neural mobility and break down associated soft tissue adhesions that contribute to patient’s symptoms. It also helps to improve the blood flow to the affected area by releasing muscular adhesions along the neural sheath. The main goal is to restore normal movement and slide of the affected nerve within its sheath rather than simply stretching the muscles. It offers not only pain relief but also relief from numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness associated with the compressed nerve.
This technique is successfully utilized for a variety of nerve related conditions, including sciatica, carpel tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, lumbar and cervical spine radiculopathies. It involves a slow, rhythmic and controlled release of
