Despolarización miofascial con técnica de Cupping aplicado a trabajadores con lumbalgia mecánica.

Abstract

Introduction: mechanical low back pain is currently a public health problem that manifests with pain in the lumbar paravertebral region and causes physical, psychological and social problems in people who have it, it is considered as the third cause of emergency care, the first of relocation within work areas and the second cause of disability. Objective: to determine the benefits of myofascial depolarization with the Cupping technique applied to workers with mechanical back pain from Disensa "DisDurán S.A.". Methodology: a quantitative study of explanatory scope and experimental type was carried out with a pre-experimental character, with a sample of 30 workers who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: 57% of the population presented a decrease in lumbar pain after the application of the technique, the postural alterations decreased by 25%, 77% had an increase per centimeter of the previous flexion and the posterior 10% the lumbar flexibility, the functional limitation decreased by 47%, which confirms the reduction of lumbar pain and functional improvement. Conclusion: Cupping technique reduces lumbar pain, increases flexibility, therefore helps the postural alignment, improving work activities and reducing functional limitation.
