Cupping

Another popular Chinese medicine practice, cupping therapy is an ancient practice that aims to reduce pain, inflammation and is often considered a form of deep tissue massage. Cupping earns its name as the procedure uses either glass, bamboo, earthenware or silicone cups that creates suction on the patient’s skin. Depending on where the cup is placed, blood flow is drawn into the area to provide some temporary relief. Cupping is most commonly used to treat:

  • Back & neck pain 
  • Migraines 
  • Knee arthritis 
  • Skin diseases 

Depending on your individual needs, Scott can provide either dry or wet cupping. Dry cupping is the process of using either a flammable substance or a suction pump to create a vacuum inside the cup. This causes your skin to rise and your blood vessels to expand. Another method is wet cupping, which requires a small incision on the skin to allow small amounts of blood to be drawn out during the cupping process. It is perfectly normal for your skin to appear bruised after treatment, and the discolouration will ease after a few days.

Chinese Medicine

Scott is qualified through a Bachelor of Health Science with a focus on studying traditional Chinese medicines. With a history of more than 5,000 years, Chinese medicine differs from Western style medicine as it emphasises on the prevention of illnesses as much as the treatment of it. Often considered a more natural and holistic approach, Chinese medicine focuses on using a combination of herbs, massage and acupuncture to assist the patient. When you visit Upper Coomera Acupuncture, we’re able to provide:

  • Dietary therapy: using food as medicine & make recommendations on diet changes 
  • Exercise therapy: using the Qigong (controlled breathing, movement & meditation) method to treat ailments 
  • Massage therapy: focusing on osteopathy & chiropractic practices 
  • Cosmetic acupuncture: boost collagen to improve the look of fine lines 
  • Gua Sha: a type of acupressure massage that aims to release pent-up tension across the body 
  • Moxibustion: a form of heat therapy that places burnt mugwort on or near the skin, which aims to alleviate pain & stimulate blood flow
