Cupping/vacuum IFT(Interferential Therapy)

At PHYSIATRIX WELLNESS, We employ Cupping/Vacuum IFT, an innovative therapy that uses suction cups to enhance blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. This non-invasive technique is incorporated into our services to address various musculoskeletal issues, providing our clients with effective and personalized care for improved well-being.

What is vacuum therapy?

Vacuum therapy is a method that uses negative pressure generated inside the device. Thanks to this phenomenon, a set of electrodes for both one-channel and two-channel electrotherapy can be attached to the patient’s body in a very short time. Vacuum itself is a source of beneficial effects on the human body. At the site of application, tissue blood supply is improved. This is because the blood vessels widen and their permeability increases. Improved circulation results in the supply of more nutrients and oxygen. Metabolic products are more easily and faster discharged.

How does vacuum therapy help patients?

Some of the electrotherapy treatments require fixing the electrodes in places where they are secured with Velcro belts. Spinal procedures when the patient is lying on a couch are the perfect sample for this application. In this case, Velcro belts must be placed under the patient. Under such circumstances, a vacuum therapy unit is a great solution. The use of a vacuum therapy unit is not limited to the back area only. With this device, the electrodes can also be attached anywhere, wherever a 50 mm diameter suction cup will be able to adapt to the surface of the body.The use of a vacuum therapy unit which complements the electrotherapy treatment is particularly recommended for bipolar currents and the use of small electrodes. The electrode surface is limited by the size of the suction cup.
