Dry Needling Physiotherapists Tarragindi.
What is dry needling?
Dry needling is a form of physical therapy that involves the insertion of thin needles into the skin to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Physiotherapists who have done training in dry needling are trained and licensed to perform dry needling as a treatment option for their patients.
Conditions that can be treated with dry needling include chronic pain, myofascial pain, tension headaches, and muscle spasms. The treatment can also be beneficial for patients with sports injuries, spinal conditions, and other forms of chronic pain.
How is dry needling performed?
The procedure involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are areas of muscle that have become tight and tender - often as a result of injury or overuse. The needles are inserted through the skin and into the muscle tissue and are left in place for a short period of time in order to stimulate the muscle to release tension and pain.
Is dry needling safe?
Dry needling is considered a safe treatment option when performed by a trained physiotherapist. It is generally well tolerated by patients, with minimal discomfort associated with the needle insertion. Some patients may experience minor side effects such as muscle soreness or bruising.
The single use disposable needles used in dry needling are thin and solid, made of stainless steel. The needles are inserted through the skin and into the muscle tissue to a depth of up to 2 inches. The depth of insertion will depend on the location of the trigger point, the size of the muscle, and the patient's body size.
What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
Dry needling and acupuncture may seem similar at first glance, but they are different therapies with different origins and philosophies. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. Acupuncture is based on the concept of Qi, or energy, flowing through the body along pathways known as meridians. The goal of acupuncture is to balance the body's Qi and restore health.
Dry needling, on the other hand, is a modern Western medical treatment that is based on the principles of anatomy and physiology. Dry needling is used to treat specific musculoskeletal conditions, such as chronic pain and muscle spasms. The goal of dry needling is to release muscle tension and reduce pain.
