Pain can disrupt your body’s natural movement patterns. Dry needling therapy is believed to influence the communication between the brain and muscles, allowing movement patterns to restore to their pre-injury state. During the procedure, you may experience sensations such as pain, discomfort, or muscle twitches.
The depth and duration of needle insertion vary depending on the type and duration of pain. Needles may be inserted superficially or deeply and for shorter or longer periods of time. The needles used are “dry,” meaning they do not contain medication or injections and are inserted directly into the muscle by our experienced physical therapists.
It is important to note that dry needling in Langley, also referred to as trigger point dry needling and intramuscular manual treatment, differs from acupuncture. While acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling physiotherapy is grounded in current Western medicine practices.
During dry needling, very thin filiform needles are used to access myofascial trigger points and the surrounding muscle and connective tissues. These tissues may not be easily palpable by hand, making precise targeting possible with the use of needles. Our physical therapists strictly adhere to standard precautions and infection prevention guidelines, utilizing gloves and other protective equipment. Disposal of the sterile needles follows proper medical sharps disposal protocols.
Dry needling in Langley is typically employed as a single component of a broader therapeutic strategy. Our physical therapists incorporate dry needling to release or inactivate trigger points, thereby reducing pain and improving range of motion. Initial findings suggest that dry needling enhances pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes motor end plate dysfunctions, facilitating a quicker return to an active rehabilitation program.
At Reflex Physiotherapy, our physical therapists undergo specialized postgraduate education and training to practice dry needling, further enhancing their knowledge and expertise. When seeking dry needling treatment, it is important to inquire about a physical therapist’s specific experience and educational background.
By deactivating trigger points, dry needling reduces blood flow restriction, improving oxygenation and alleviating pain in the affected area. This enhanced blood flow supports tissue healing and overall recovery.
Dry needling creates controlled micro-injuries within dysfunctional muscles, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and protein formation, aiding in the restoration of normal muscle function and promoting tissue repair.
Deactivating trigger points through dry needling can directly alleviate pain locally. Additionally, it can indirectly reduce pain by relieving pressure on joints or nerves and interfering with the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This comprehensive approach provides effective pain relief for various conditions.
Improves Muscle Function
By releasing tension in taut bands within muscles, dry needling enhances muscle extensibility and contractibility. This results in decreased muscle spasms, improved range of motion, and better joint mechanics. It also optimizes muscle recruitment, facilitating more efficient movement patterns.
