Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a specialized technique that works on multiple layers of the body's musculoskeletal system, including the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. One of the primary mechanisms of Dry Needling is to promote a mini inflammatory response in the affected area.
This response results in vasodilation, or the dilation of blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the area. The increase in blood flow can help to flush out any metabolic waste products that may have accumulated in the affected tissue, leading to a reduction in pain and inflammation.
The technique of acupuncture utilised these mechanisms along with working on the chinese meridian system to promote a circulatory effect on the body.
The technique of Dry Needling & acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles directly into the knots, or myofascial trigger points within the affected muscle tissue or a specific meridian point. These points are areas of hyperirritability within the meridian system or muscle, often caused by overuse, trauma, poor posture or a blockage within the meridian system. By targeting these points with the needles, Dry Needling and acupuncture can help to release tension and reduce pain in the affected area.
Overall, Dry Needling and acupuncture is a powerful technique that can be used to address a range of health issues, from acute injuries to chronic pain conditions. With the help of our trained practitioner, individuals can experience the benefits of increased blood flow, reduced pain and inflammation, and improved function and mobility
