Dry Needling in Parramatta
Dry needling, while similar to acupuncture, has a different application. While they both utilise the same needles, the two therapies are based on different treatment philosophies and use distinct techniques.
What to Expect
Dry needling, also known as intramuscular stimulation, involves placing the filiform needles directly into the myofascial trigger point, which helps increase circulation and speed up the repair of the surrounding tissue. These points are generally hard or knotted; the needle helps release the knot and stop muscle pain and spasms. Sometimes, dry needling will expand to include the area around the trigger point for better results.
How It Helps
Dry needling, as part of an overall care plan, is often used to help with sports injuries and has been successful in relieving some muscle pain and stiffness. Releasing trigger points may also improve flexibility and increase range of motion.
There are several other conditions this therapy may treat, such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel, joint problems, disc issues, TMJ, fibromyalgia and more.
