In our salon, a particularly popular service is cupping massage of the cervical-collar area - an excellent means of preventing and treating osteochondrosis of the neck.
The cervical spine experiences very serious stress, and at the same time performs important functions: protecting the spinal cord and spinal nerves and supplying blood to the brain.
Osteochondrosis of the cervical-collar area is a fairly common disease. People suffering from it experience headaches, increased blood pressure, tinnitus, dizziness, pain in the cervical spine, etc. In addition, hypertension appears, disruption of brain function and even coordination of movements.
Therefore, it is better to start treating this disease in time.
What are the treatment options for cervical osteochondrosis?
Treatment methods for this disease depend on the degree of its development:
- In the first stages (grade 1), the symptoms of the disease are mild in the form of ligament tension and pain in the area of the nerve nodes. At this stage, a course of physical therapy, physiotherapy, vitamins, ointments, proper nutrition will help;
- Stage 2 osteochondrosis is accompanied by headaches, numbness of fingers and limbs, deformation of muscle tissue, and metabolic disorders. In this case, drug treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs is prescribed.
- With the development of stage 3 disease, the vertebrae become unstable, which can cause a hernia or protrusion. In this case, pressure surges, numbness of the hands, headaches and dizziness are observed. For treatment, anti-inflammatory vasodilator drugs are prescribed; if they do not help, then hormonal drugs are prescribed.
- At stage 4 of osteochondrosis, therapy of the vertebral artery may be necessary, since due to its compression there is a risk of stroke. At this stage, there is loss of sensation in the limbs and paralysis of the body. In this case, surgical intervention is prescribed.
Medicometotic drugs are prescribed only during exacerbations, but in the presence of chronic chondrosis and for the recovery stage after treatment, acupuncture, physical therapy, hirudotherapy and massage are prescribed.
Many experts believe that the most effective treatment and prevention of cervical osteochondrosis is cupping massage of the cervical region.

Will bruises hurt after cupping?
Patients are often concerned about what marks will remain on the skin after a cupping massage and whether they will hurt. Since the massage involves a fairly intense effect on the skin vessels, it usually leaves spots that normally disappear within 3-5 days. If the massage is performed correctly, the bruises will not hurt and will quickly disappear without a trace. Experienced massage therapists can judge by their color the processes that occur in the body:
- purple spots indicates stagnant processes in the tissues. The patient needs to increase physical activity and regularly undergo massage therapy.
- If red spots with small dark dots appear on the skin, this indicates circulatory problems in the upper layers of the skin.

During a static massage, the skin is pre-treated with gel, after which a jar is placed on the problem area, which remains in place. After 5 - 7 seconds, the vacuum is released, then the skin is sucked again. In this way, a limited problem area is processed 4–6 times, and only then the can is moved to another location.
