Dry Needling Service
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points in the muscles. These trigger points are often tight knots that can cause pain and restrict movement. By targeting these areas, dry needling aims to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing.
Benefits of Dry Needling:
Pain Relief: It can effectively reduce pain associated with conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, and sports injuries.
Muscle Relaxation: The technique helps to relax tight muscles and restore function.
Improved Mobility: By alleviating restrictions in the muscles, patients often experience increased range of motion.
Faster Recovery: It can enhance the recovery process after surgery or intense physical activity.
Conditions Treated with Dry Needling
1. Chronic Pain
Conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis can see reduced pain levels through muscle relaxation.
2. Muscle Tension and Strain
Ideal for alleviating tension in tight muscles, often caused by overuse or stress.
3. Sports Injuries
Effective for treating common sports-related issues such as tendonitis, ligament sprains, and muscle tears.
4. Trigger Points
Specifically targets myofascial trigger points, helping to relieve localized pain and discomfort.
5. Headaches and Migraines
Can reduce the frequency and intensity of tension-type headaches and migraines.
6. Post-Surgical Recovery
Aids in healing and reduces muscle tightness after surgery, promoting better movement.
7. Neck and Back Pain
Often used to treat chronic neck and back pain, helping to improve flexibility and function.
8. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
May alleviate pain and discomfort in the jaw area.
