Comparison of Dry Needling and Dry Cupping in Positional Fault of Pelvis Due to Myofascial Trigger Points in Quadratus Lumborum

Experimental group 1 got this intervention containing Dry needling for 10 mins, followed by conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack and stretching) for 15 mins. Participants were treated 6 times over a 3 week period with 2 treatment sessions per week per patient. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st and 6th session over a 3 week period respectively. A follow up reading was also taken after 1 month for checking prolonged post treatment effects. Assessment was done via Pressure pain threshold Scale, Pelvic goniometer and Measuring tape for assessing functional positional fault of pelvis and muscle length of Quadratus lumborum
