DRY NEEDLING TREATMENTS

When combined with osteopathy, dry needling may be an effective way to treat the following conditions:

  • Rotator cuff and shoulder issues.

  • Acute ligamentous strain (ankle, knee, wrist).

  • Tendinitis.

  • Tennis elbow.

  • Wrist and repetitive strain problems.

  • Chronic muscular tension.

  • Sciatica and gluteal pain.

Mechanism of dry needling?

Dry needling is used to strengthen tendons and ligaments, stimulate Golgi receptors and muscle spindles, deactivate trigger points, treat overactive motor points, provide growth and blood factors to hemodynamically disturbed tissues (commonly seen in Myofascial pain syndromes) reset motor points and neural control and stimulate other reflex mechanisms.
