Dry Needling

Dry Needling
Dry needling is an effective and efficient treatment for many soft tissue injuries.  

Dry needling uses the same needles as acupuncture, however the philosophy and physiological basis of treatment is different to traditional Chinese medicine.  Whereas acupuncture references meridian points and energy flow, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and physiological principles. 

Doctors first described trigger-point injections in the early 1940’s, performed by injecting painful soft tissues with analgesics. Research has shown that it is not only the substance that is being injected that is providing the therapeutic benefit, but also the mechanical stimulus of the needle in the tissues.  Soft tissue injuries respond well to being needled, whether or not medication is injected.  So dry needling is "dry" because nothing is injected.

There are a number of explanations for how dry needling works.  Dry needling may mechanically disrupt the contracted nature of tight muscles. Dry needling fires neural pathways which modulate pain messages.  The small "injury" of the penetrating needle stimulates a larger heeling response, resulting in local biochemical changes and increased blood flow.  

Often an immediate improvement is noted.
