This week, we're joined by our Associate Chiropractor Dr. Dodge and Therapist Meghan Walton of the Holistic Integration Structural Team to talk about Cupping Therapy, as well as our high success rate in dealing with shoulder issues. In this episode, find out: —How the weird marks on Olympic athletes that look like they were attacked by an octopus are a result from Cupping Therapy, which is also called Myofascial Decompression. —The issues helped by Cupping Therapy, such as: pain, scar tissue, adhesions, tendinitis, muscle tension and tightness, and range-of-motion problems. —Why the marks left behind by Cupping Therapy are different from bruising and are not painful at all. —How the shoulder is different than any other joint in the body. And how the shoulder isn’t really a "ball-and-socket" joint like the hip, but a "ball-and-dish" socket that allows the unique range-of-motion offered by the shoulder. —The causes of shoulder pain, including: rotator cuff tear, labrum tear, bursitis, and tendinitis (which is the most common cause). And the diagnostics and testing involved in shoulder issues. —The JTECH computerized range-of-motion test used at Holistic Integration that provides an objective analysis of your shoulder. And how Holistic Integration doesn't "do any guesswork". —How 60-75% of partial rotator cuff tears can be healed non-surgically with conservative treatment like Chiropractic treatment and rehab. And how Holistic Integration experienced an even higher success rate with their patients. —The ProAdjuster SRT Chiropractic adjusting technology used at Holistic Integration that has various tools specifically designed for the shoulder joint. And how the Rapid Release vibration therapy "does a great job on the fascia". —Why Dr. Dodge says he "hates" frozen shoulder syndrome, but "loves" how Holistic Integration is able to help patients overcome their suffering through "a return to function, decreased pain, and some incredible range-of-motion". —How you can receive a FREE Autonomic Nervous System Test, a $175 value, by attending our upcoming Holistic Integration Open House Event on Wednesday, June 26th at 6:30 p.m. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
