Key Benefits of Wet Cupping
Pain Relief: Effectively treats chronic pain, including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, knee arthritis, and muscle soreness.
Detoxification & Improved Circulation: Removes "stagnant" blood and toxins, reducing inflammation and enhancing lymphatic drainage and blood flow.
Immune System Boost: Stimulates immune cells, including increasing white blood cells (WBCs), neutrophils, and lymphocytes.
Management of Metabolic Conditions: May help lower cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.
Treatment for Specific Conditions: Used to alleviate headaches, migraines, and certain skin conditions. Drpunit Tiwari

The ATFL (Anterior Talofibular Ligament) test, typically the Anterior Drawer Test, assesses for lateral ankle ligament damage by stabilizing the tibia while pulling the heel forward (anteriorly) to check for laxity, with a 5 mm+ shift indicating a potential tear. A talar tilt test (inversion while plantarflexed) also evaluates this ligament.
