What Is Cupping and Dry Needling Therapy?

Understanding Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy involves placing specialised cups on the skin to create suction. This technique may temporarily affect blood flow and produce a pulling sensation in the treated area. It is used as a supportive approach for selected muscle-related concerns.

Understanding Dry Needling

Dry needling involves inserting fine, sterile, single-use needles into selected muscle trigger points. It is used by trained practitioners to address muscle tension and movement-related discomfort. It is different from acupuncture, as its approach is based on musculoskeletal assessment.

At Shree Physio, Dry Needling & Cupping Therapy Vadodara is considered according to your condition and treatment goals. People exploring cupping and needle therapy in Vadodara can receive guidance on whether one technique or a combination may be appropriate.

These techniques may be included in a wider physiotherapy plan involving exercise, movement training, and other suitable interventions.
