The purpose of this technique is to promote health and healing by loosening soft tissue and connective tissue, scarring and adhesions, moving stagnation and increasing flow and circulation. This therapy utilizes silicone or plastic cups to create suction on the body surface. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup, or may be parked for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release. Suction reaches deep into the soft tissue, attachments and organs.

İNCI 1Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey 2Department of Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey Abstract – Objective: We aimed at investigating the knowledge and attitudes of cancer pa- tients who underwent chemotherapy about Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Patients and Methods: 306 cancer patients filled the CAM questionnaire. The patients were evaluated in terms of frequency of CAM use and CAM type, source of information, and reason for use and some other factors. Results: 92.8% of the patients had knowledge about CAM. 63.4% of them used one of the CAM methods. The patients generally used the CAM method thinking it may provide additional benefit to cancer treatments. Conclusions: It was observed that the rate of CAM use among the cancer patients were high. The patients obtained the information about CAM mostly through the media. Education level, dis- ease stage, and place of residence were the independent predictive factors for the CAM use. They tended to use phytotherapy more often than other applications due to the fact that it has been used in our country for years.

  • Chiropractic Treatment Involves the Science, Philosophy and Art Of
    BACK 2 BACK CHIROPRACTIC INFORMED CONSENT TO CHIROPRACTIC CARE Chiropractic treatment involves the science, philosophy and art of locating and correcting spinal misalignments and as such, is oriented toward improvement of the spinal function relative to range of motion, muscular and neurological aspects. There has been no promise, implied or otherwise, of a cure for any symptoms, disease or condition as a result of treatment in the clinic. I understand that the chiropractor will use his/her hands or a mechanical device upon my body to adjust a joint, which may cause an audible “pop” or “click.” It is my intention to rely on the doctor to exercise professional judgment during treatment, which he/ she feels, at the time, to be in my best interest. Neither the practice of chiropractic or medicine is an exact science, but relies upon information related by the patient, information gathered during examination, and the doctor’s interpretation thereof, as well as the doctor’s judgment and expertise in working with similar cases. I have had the opportunity to discuss the nature and purpose of chiropractic adjustments and adjunctive treatment. I understand and am informed that, as in the practice of medicine, in the practice of chiropractic there are some risks to treatment including, but not limited, fractures, disc injuries, strokes, dislocation and sprains.

  • EFC INTAKE Copy
    EVERGREEN FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC, LLC CUPPING THERAPY What is Cupping? Massage Cupping therapy is an adaptation of an ancient technique that dates back as early as 1550 B.C. Throughout history, indigenous people have used various forms of cups including those made of bone, bamboo, stone, and glass. What to Expect The cup is positioned over the area of the body to be treated and suction is created using a vacuum gun or bulb. The more traditional method involves inserting a flame into a glass cup to create the vacuum. The suction level can range from light to heavy, and the movements performed by the therapist can be stimulating or sedating. Cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup, or may be left stationary for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release of trigger points and adhesions. This suction reaches deep into the soft tissue, attachments, and organs, loosening adhesions and draining blood and lymph stagnation. Benefits of Cupping ‣ Decreases and relieves pain and inflammation ‣ Releases and softens scar tissue ‣ Lifts and stretches soft tissue ‣ Improves circulation ‣ Increases range of movement ‣ Drains lymph fluid + clear drainage pathways ‣ Releases deep muscular issues and trigger points ‣ Clears old residue out of the muscle and soft tissue ‣ Sedates the nervous system ‣ Opens chest and lungs Contraindications Cupping is contraindicated in cases of severe diseases such as cardiac and renal failure, severe edema, as well as hemorrhagic diseases such as allergic purpura, hemophilia and leukemia, and clients with dermatosis, destruction of skin, or allergic dermatitis.
