Dry Needling (commonly referred to as Acupuncture)
Dry needling is the use of "acupuncture" needles that are inserted to a persons muscles, ligaments, joint capsule or nerve to reduce pain and restore function.
The biggest advantage of "Dry Needling" that it is a form treatment without causing that much pain to you. It is an amazingly effective treatment technique for all injuries from your head all the way down to your toes.
Trigger Point Therapy
What is a Trigger Point?- A trigger point (TP) is a section of muscle which has shortened/tightened due to overactivity.
- TP’s are present throughout the body and may be latent (no symptoms) or active.
- An active TP causes pain due to the muscle shortening. This may be local or referred pain.
- The shortened portion of muscle is unable to contract and hence strength is reduced.
- TP’s present as a palpable lump in a muscle.
