What is cupping treatment
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow.
Proponents also claim the suction helps facilitate the flow of “qi” in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.

Dry Needling is the insertion of fine filiform needles into areas of dysfunction that can be found in muscle or fascia. Dry Needling was initially applied to individual muscles and fascia, as the scope of its effectiveness was assessed. Dry Needling works on several layers of the body’s system. However the easiest way to describe Dry Needling is to associate it with the body’s ability to heal itself. It is used, among other things, to encourage a mini inflammatory response that results in vasodilation, or increased blood flow to an area.
The difference between the two models is that Dry Needling uses physiological and scientific principles to guide diagnosis and treatment protocol, where as Acupuncture uses esoteric principles to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal and systemic conditions to restore “energetic” balance in the body.
Dry needling may provide relief for some muscular pain and stiffness. In addition, easing the trigger points may improve flexibility and increase range of motion. That’s why this method is often used to treat sports injuries, muscle pain, and even fibromyalgia pain.
