Dry Needling Perth

What is Myofascial Dry Needling?

Myofascial Dry Needling is a treatment approach that was adapted from acupuncture and refers to the insertion of fine, solid filament needles into the musculoskeletal system to deactivate trigger points.

Dry Needling:

• helps to release and deactivate trigger points
• helps to reduce muscle tension
• enhances blood circulation and flush toxins
• assists with the release of pain mediating chemicals and     endorphins
• establishes a far greater range of movement at time of     treatment

This helps to reduce pain and promote healing.

While myofascial dry needling uses acupuncture needles, the paradigms that underpin myofascial dry needling and acupuncture are completely different.

In contrast, the acupuncture paradigm is based on thousands of years of clinical observation and involves a systemic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of disharmonies within the body.

The term dry needling is also used to differentiate the use of needling in a western physiological paradigm from the use of needling in an oriental paradigm which is referred to as acupuncture.

Myofascial Dry Needling is often combined  with other treatment techniques to achieve superior results... faster!
