What Conditions Benefits You from Dry Needling Therapy Brisbane?

 

Dry Needling Therapy Brisbane is a treatment method that is used on muscle trigger points that cause pain and discomfort. A muscle trigger point is a hyper-irritable, highly localised spot in a palpable, taut band of skeletal muscle fibres. These trigger points, or sensitive small cramps in the soft tissue of the muscles, can be excruciatingly painful, leaving patients desperate for relief.

Patients should only be treated with Dry Needling Therapy Brisbane by those who have been certified. Dry needling's goal is to reduce muscle tightness, reduce local and referred pain, and increase blood flow in a variety of pain areas such as the neck, hip, foot, shoulder, and back.

What Is the Process of Dry Needling Therapy Brisbane?

A thin, sterile, solid filament needle is inserted into the skin during a dry needling treatment at massage therapy clinic Brisbane to stimulate the underlying myofascial trigger points. There is no liquid or medication injected into the patient during the course of a dry needling treatment.

When the muscle is stimulated with the needle, the muscle fibres twitch, relieving stress on the joint, nerve, or vascular tissue. As a result, muscle activity decreases dramatically, allowing it to relax and reducing pain and dysfunction. Dry needling performed by massage therapists Brisbane, in essence, causes a small muscle contraction, which then allows the muscle fibres to return to their normal, uncrimped state.

What Conditions Can Be Helped by Dry Needling?

The goal of dry needling is to relax the muscles by releasing overactive muscles and "untightening" the continuous muscle fibre contraction. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the positive effects that dry needling can have on patients. Because everyone is different and responds differently to treatments, it is important to note that dry needling is not a stand-alone treatment.

In a study of dry needling vs. a placebo group for people with myofascial pain syndrome, those who had dry needling performed on their bodies reported less pain, better quality of life, and less need for medications.
