Dry Cupping 🫧🙇🏼‍♀️🙋🏼

You’ve all seen the circle bruises, but what’s the benefit of cupping therapy and how can it help those aches and pains?

Dry cupping is where suction is applied to the skin without making any incisions (unlike wet cupping, which involves small cuts to draw blood) 🙌🏽🫧

✅ Benefits of Dry Cupping

• Pain Relief
• Increases local blood circulation
• Reduces muscle tension and stiffness
• Improves blood flow & promotes tissue repair by bringing oxygen and nutrients to the area
• Reduced Inflammation
• Myofascial Release
• Improves mobility and range of motion
• Relaxation & stress relief (activates the parasympathetic nervous system aka. rest and digest!)

🫧🦴 Combining dry cupping with chiropractic care improves outcomes for patients with chronic pain, stiffness, and postural imbalances.

🌀Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling

If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between acupuncture and dry needling, you’re not alone. While both therapies involve the use of thin, sterile needles, they stem from very different philosophies and can serve distinct yet complementary roles—especially when integrated with chiropractic care.

💙Acupuncture focuses on the flow of Qi (energy) along pathways called meridians. By placing needles at specific points, acupuncture aims to rebalance energy and promote healing.

🩵Dry needling is a Western medicine technique, often used by chiropractors and physical therapists. Needles are inserted into trigger points—tight bands or knots in muscle—to release tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain.

⭐️Combining these treatments with chiropractic care calm down the nervous system and inflammation, release trigger point and relaxes overactive muscles, making adjustments easier and longer-lasting.

Talk to your chiropractor and physiotherapist about integrating both into your care plan for comprehensive support 🙌🏽

Kinesiotaping 🏃🏼‍♀️

We’ve all seen it; during the olympics, The London Marathon, even for some dogs (yes even our four legged besties) kinesiotaping (taping) is a popular, non-invasive treatment that supports injured muscles and joints without restricting movement.

It helps reduce pain, decrease swelling, and improve circulation—speeding up the healing process.

Studies show taping can reduce pain, especially in conditions like: Knee osteoarthritis, Shoulder impingement and Lower back pain

This effect is often attributed to sensory stimulation and improved proprioception.

It can also help reduce swelling by lifting the skin and improving lymphatic drainage—especially in post-injury or post-surgical cases.

Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with joint pain, or managing chronic muscle tension, kinesiotaping can be a great tool for relief.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE 🙌🏽

Don’t chiropractors just crack your bones? 🫣🙅🏼
Is chiropractic right for me? 🤔
I’ve had surgery / cancer / osteoporosis, can I still see a chiropractor? 🙌🏽

On your initial assessment, as a GP, physiotherapist or osteopath would, we conduct a medical history consultation to discuss your queries, aches and pains. We ask questions relevant to your injuries as well as overall health questions, to get a better understanding of you and your wellbeing.

We then do ahead (if safe to do so) and perform a physical and neurological examination to understand the potential mechanical issue for your complaint!

Based on these, we can then go ahead and treat you and create a specific care plan to help get you back to being you! 🏃🏼‍♀️

We use a range of techniques to support your body’s natural healing:

✅ **Adjustments (Manipulation):** Gentle spinal and joint adjustments to improve alignment and relieve pressure.
✅ **Dry Needling:** Targets tight muscles to release tension and improve mobility.
✅ **Soft Tissue Work:** Massage and myofascial release to reduce pain and improve flexibility.
✅ **Cupping Therapy:** Promotes blood flow and reduces muscle tightness, aiding in faster recovery.

Chiropractic care is safe and effective for all ages—from newborns to seniors. It’s also a fantastic support during pregnancy, helping to ease discomfort and prepare the body for birth.

Your body deserves to move well and feel great! Ready to experience the difference? ✨💆‍♂️
