Effect of Dry Needling

Dry needling is used directly on ’trigger points’.Ā Trigger points, in laments terms called knots,Ā can naturally occur in anyĀ muscle.Ā ItĀ consistsĀ ofĀ aĀ small local cramp in the muscle fibres, thatĀ leadĀ to decreased blood flow,Ā oxygenĀ andĀ nutrientsĀ and thisĀ resultĀ inĀ pain.Ā 

How does Dry Needling work?

Trigger points can be alleviated by briefly inserting a sterile needle into them.Ā This sounds more intense than it essentially is and the appropriate treatment is hardlyĀ painful.Ā If youĀ haveĀ an active trigger point, theĀ muscleĀ contracts for a brief moment, called aĀ muscleĀ twitch, andĀ thereafterĀ itĀ relaxes.Ā MuscleĀ relaxation can also be maintained byĀ posturalĀ correction and exercise.Ā
