Introduction:
Chronic pain and muscle tension can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday tasks challenging. At SOS PHYSIO, we understand these challenges and offer a unique, multi-disciplinary approach to pain management, including the innovative technique of dry needling. Our highly trained professionals are here to help you find relief and improve your overall well-being.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain. During this procedure, a thin, sterile needle is inserted into your muscles at the so-called “trigger points” — the knots that cause pain and discomfort. This process helps release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms. The needles used are similar to those used in acupuncture, but the technique is rooted in Western medical principles.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
The technique of dry needling involves inserting a fine needle into specific areas known as trigger points. These are the tight bands of muscle that may be causing pain throughout the body, including areas distant from the trigger point itself. The insertion of the needle causes the muscle to twitch and then relax, helping to alleviate the pain. This can help to improve flexibility and increase range of motion. Here’s what happens during the procedure:
Assessment: Your therapist will assess your condition to locate the tight muscles and trigger points needing attention.
Insertion: A sterile needle is gently inserted into the muscle’s trigger point.
Response: The muscle may twitch slightly, a normal reaction that leads to relaxation and easing of muscle tension.
Recovery: After the needle is removed, the area may feel immediately relieved or even slightly sore, which is a normal part of the healing process.
Benefits of Dry Needling at SOS PHYSIO:
Pain Reduction: Quickly alleviates both acute and chronic pain.
Increased Mobility: Helps restore mobility and range of motion by relaxing muscle tension and stiffness.
Enhanced Rehabilitation: When combined with other treatments like physical therapy and occupational therapy, dry needling can enhance the recovery process, making rehabilitation faster and more effective.
Minimal Side Effects: The technique is generally considered safe with minimal side effects when performed by a trained professional.
