DRY NEEDLING & ACUPUNCTURE

About Dry Needling:
– Performed by Physiotherapists Wayne Dessaur & Cailynn See

Dry needling is a procedure that is available at Health on Grange Physiotherapy to address muscle pain and dysfunction.

During dry needling, thin needles are inserted into tight bands of muscles or trigger points – areas with increased muscle tension or knots. The goal is to stimulate these points, leading to a twitch response in the muscle, which helps release tension and improve blood flow.

• Physiotherapy uses acupuncture to alleviate pain by inserting needles into specific points on the body, stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissues to release natural painkillers.
• Acupuncture in physiotherapy can improve blood circulation, which promotes healing and reduces inflammation in injured or affected areas.
• By targeting acupuncture points, physiotherapists can help to relax tight muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and improve overall muscle function.
• Acupuncture is often integrated into physiotherapy treatment plans to enhance the effects of other therapies, such as manual therapy & exercise.
• Physiotherapists use acupuncture to balance the body’s energy flow, which can support overall well-being and accelerate recovery from various musculoskeletal conditions.
