Dryneedling – Expert therapy for tense and sore muscles
DryNeedling is a treatment of painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system using sterile disposable acupuncture needles. The needles are inserted into trigger points on the muscle. Trigger points are groups of muscle fibers with increased tension that hurt, bother, or cause cramps. Due to increased tension, local circulation and oxygenation of the tissue around the trigger point are impaired, making them difficult to relax with massage techniques.
DryNeedling Placement
Sterile acupuncture needles are inserted directly into the muscle, causing breaking of the trigger points, better blood supply and oxygen, and faster degradation of waste byproducts. This technique, although it sounds incredible, is generally painless. If there is a fear of needles or pain during the treatment, this is an absolute contraindication and the treatment can be stopped at any time! The needles remain in the muscle for 10-15 minutes, and the rest of the day, no major physical activity is recommended due to the achieved relaxation. The technique has very fast results.
Effect of DryNeedling
We use DryNeedling as a technique for the purpose of relaxing painful and tense muscles. An additional result is improved mobility, function and reduction of pain and tension. The effect lasts up to a week.
