I explain the technique of addressing the skin with vacuum therapy. The process involves applying a lot of lubricant on the skin, then placing a jar and creating a vacuum inside it. This allows the jar to move along the skin, targeting areas where the patient experiences numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or signs of sensory deficit. By addressing the skin across dermatomes that innervate the patient’s skin, we can effectively treat these issues. It's crucial to manage the vacuum pressure to avoid tearing fibers and causing hematomas. The aim is to lift and move the jar in a mobile regime, elevating the skin and stretching fibrotic bridges to separate the skin from superficial fascia.
