This research was conducted to determine the impact of dry and wet cupping and rehabilitation exercises to lower back pain in the adults. The sample included (10) adults with lower back pain of various levels because the experimental approach was applied in the framework of a single-group design. The subjects were subjected to integrated program of a certain protocol that consisted of dry and wet cupping sessions, and also therapeutic rehabilitation exercises of (8) weeks. The pain Rating Scale (VAS) was used to gather data on pain before and after the program with certain functional indicators. The findings revealed that the pain levels were significantly lower and motor ability had improved at the end of the program, as compared to the pretest. The researchers conclude that the integration of dry and wet cupping and rehabilitation exercises is one of the effective methods of reducing lower back pain in adults. The researcher suggests that this kind of program should be implemented at large scales and their effects should be examined over the extended periods of time.
