Can cupping therapy help with cervical dystonia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't hurt to try.: Cupping is a long used treatment. Although it has theoretical benefits for pain it has not been studied for dystonia . It won't hurt to try. A trained neuromuscular therapist in conjunction with botulism injections are more traditional and proven treatments.
