Dry Needling and Myofascial Cupping
Dry needling is a therapy that helps relieve muscle pain and improve movement through strengthening tendons and ligaments, reducing tension, and improving blood flow/healing.
Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy pathways, dry needling targets the neuromuscular system.
Dry needling can provide relief from conditions such as:
Back and neck pain
Tension headaches
Tendinitis
Myofascial pain syndrome
Myofascial cupping employs special cups to create suction on the skin, lifting underlying tissues, enhancing blood flow, promoting relaxation, and alleviating muscle tension.
Cupping aims to break up adhesions and scar tissue, facilitating a more efficient movement of the body's structures.
Cupping is effective for the treatment of:
Musculoskeletal pain and discomfort
Headaches and migraines
Sporting injuries
Asthma & Chronic cough
Chronic pain syndromes
Dry needling & Cupping are used as part of a larger rehabilitation program that includes other therapies like manual therapy and exercise.
