Effect of Dry Needling
Dry needling is used directly on ’trigger points’. Trigger points, in laments terms called knots, can naturally occur in any muscle. It consists of a small local cramp in the muscle fibres, that lead to decreased blood flow, oxygen and nutrients and this result in pain.Â
How does Dry Needling work?
Trigger points can be alleviated by briefly inserting a sterile needle into them. This sounds more intense than it essentially is and the appropriate treatment is hardly painful. If you have an active trigger point, the muscle contracts for a brief moment, called a muscle twitch, and thereafter it relaxes. Muscle relaxation can also be maintained by postural correction and exercise.Â
