What is dry needling, and how does it work?

Dry needling is a new-era technique to manage muscular disorders and enhance sports performance. This therapy employs very thin, extremely fine needles sterilized and inserted into muscle knots or sore areas. Thus, these target areas would reduce muscular tension, boost blood circulation, and trigger body repair.

The Science Behind Dry Needling

Dry needling is the procedure used to address myofascial pain from muscle tightness or trigger points. Being researched as early as 2017, it was noted in a Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy article published in 2020 that it helps to alleviate chronic musculoskeletal pain and enhance its sufferers’ functioning. It stretches fine elastic muscle fibres and improves blood flow to the part which forms the affected area, thus aiding in the healing process.

 

Benefits of Dry Needling

Experts at PhysiotherapyBest utilize dry needling to treat sensitive areas. Benefits of this method include:

  • Dry needling reduces chronic pain and muscular stiffness.
  • Dry needling targets trigger sites, promoting muscular mobility and flexibility.
  • They help sports injuries and other musculoskeletal diseases heal faster than usual treatments.

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association considers dry needling safe and effective if done by experienced professionals. The PhysiotherapyBest staff ensures all measures are tailored to patient needs to improve health quickly.

What Should I Expect During an IMS Treatment?

Selected Treatment Principled for IMS or Intramuscular Stimulation is a specifically focused approach for recovery from numerous muscle spasms and nerve sensitivity. When considering IMS at PhysiotherapyBest, you should prepare to undergo this in your session.

Initial Assessment

Before IMS, our skilled therapists assess the patient. This entails detailing your health, problems, and previous prescriptions to a doctor. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association recommends a thorough screening to create a personalized treatment plan.

The IMS Procedure

IMS involves inserting tiny needles into the patient or client’s muscles. It stimulates injured muscles and nerves to reconnect and relieve pain. Once the needle activates muscle communication, you may feel slight pain or sensitivity, but it goes away quickly. 

Comfort and Care

At Physiotherapy Best, patient comfort is paramount, especially during IMS treatment. Our process involves full explanations of each stage and constant availability to answer queries. Creating a worry-free setting makes sessions comfortable. 

Post-Treatment

Pain, stiffness, or acute irritation may occur after IMS therapy, however they usually last a few days. Thus, our therapists will advise patients on post-IMS care and any more sessions needed to fully benefit from the therapy. IMS Physiotherapy’s skilled staff provides therapy for every ailment that needs effective treatment to concerned personnel.

What are the benefits of acupuncture?

Traditional acupuncture has been applied for years to deal with different diseases. In this practice, the practitioner uses thin needles to alter energy flow on channels in the patient’s body to encourage healing. At PhysiotherapyBest, we incorporate acupuncture in handling various illnesses and enhancement of the general well-being of an individual.

Thus, acupuncture has injurious healing properties, such as reducing inflammation. A Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine study shows that acupuncture positively reduces inflammation in arthritic and chronic pain patients (Canadian Institute of Health Research, 2022). The treatment involves using unique acupoints to boost the production of the anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, hence alleviating the symptoms and enhancing ability.

This is useful since it is an essential component of health; circulation and acupuncture enhance this aspect. The drugs belonging to anticoagulant and vasodilator groups help tissues to take up oxygen and nutrients and promote healing. Canadian Journal of Physiotherapy or the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (2023) also reported that acupuncture enhances blood flow in musculoskeletal injuries. It increases the blood circulation to the inflamed part to facilitate quick healing and ease the corresponding pain.

It makes you relax, which improves your mental status in general. The University of Toronto also argued that acupuncture decreases cortisol, anxiety, and depression levels (University of Toronto, 2021). The purposes of acupuncture are to regulate stress and treat the mental aspect of conditions.

Another advantage of the procedure is that it affects bowel movement and the body’s immune system. According to Frontiers in Medicine, acupuncture can improve digestion and reduce bloating and constipation (Frontiers, 2022). Acupuncture also boosts the immune system, making the body more ill-resistant.
