Chiropractic
A chiropractic adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain.
Spinal manipulation is relieves pressure on joints, reduces inflammation, and improves nerve function. It has been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, spinal manipulation is used to treat conditions such as allergies, menstrual cramps and headaches.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a 3000-year-old holistic health practice stemming from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The most common method involves insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin, stimulating specific anatomic sites and triggering the body's natural self-healing process. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments. In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions. Acupuncture is now covered by many insurance policies and is used most broadly to relieve pain.
Dry Needling
The founder of Dry Needling Academy, Piyush Jain (PhD Scholar) states Dry Needling as methods which can help in providing the healthcare professionals a great tool to serve their patients with great result in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities. No treatment protocol can work without a proper assessment of the patients, the need for clinical reasoning with proper assessment tools are the basic necessity of the therapist.
Dry Needling is a neurophysiological evidence-based treatment technique that requires effective manual assessment of the neuromuscular system. Acupuncture Doctors are well trained to utilize dry needling in conjunction with manual physical medicine interventions. Research supports that dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor end plates, and facilitates an accelerated return to active rehabilitation.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy was first discussed in old medical textbooks in the Western World and was described as a medical practice that was used by Egyptians. There have also been accounts of Hippocrates using the Cupping Method for internal disease. Fire Cupping has also been practiced through Europe, Asia, and Africa. Cupping therapy is an alternative form of medicine and is perhaps better known as a traditional Chinese Medicine, like acupuncture.
The basic idea behind cupping therapy is to place glass cups or silicone cups on the patient’s skin to create a vacuum, so the blood is drawn to the surface of the skin in specific parts of the body that need healing. Traditional Chinese practitioners discuss different areas, or meridians, of the body that are used to transfer energy. They believe each body has twelve different meridians and treatment can be applied to each meridian for a myriad of reasons.
