Non Probability Convenient sampling was done. Patients following eligibility criteria from Physiotherapy department of Islam Central hospital, Sialkot were considered. Sample size was calculated with Epitool calculator. 26 Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given Dry needling technique and Group B was given Dry Cupping along with conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack and stretching). Duration of research was almost 6 months. 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. All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. They were free to quit the treatment at any stage of research. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.
