Modern medicine does amazing things, but sometimes patients find that the cure is worse than the disease. This is no less true of knee pain, which doctors often treat with medication, surgery or both. If you’re looking for a more natural approach to knee pain treatment in Glendale, consider cupping.
Cupping is the process of applying warm plastic or glass cups to the skin and using them to create a vacuum. When the vacuum is created, it forces the top layer of your skin and muscle into the cup. This breaks up small muscle knots and encourages an increase in circulation and blood flow. The improved blood flow promotes healing and allows your blood to carry away toxins like lactic acid that may have built up in the area.
Some people report experiencing a bit of discomfort during the cupping procedure, describing the process as similar to having a sore muscle massaged. The experience isn’t painful, however, and most people start to feel better immediately after their first treatment. Cupping can provide knee pain relief without the side effects of medication or the significant healing time required after knee surgery.
Although used for centuries in Egypt, China and the Middle East, cupping is comparatively new in the United States. At Impact Physical Therapy, we understand that those looking for knee pain treatment in Glendale might be a bit skeptical but the efficacy of the procedure. That’s why we offer a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Don’t suffer in silence when you can call us and get on the path to healing today.
