What is the Myofascial Dry Needling?

​

Myofascial dry needling aims to reduce myofascial pain caused by muscle trigger points, resulting in muscle spasms and dysfunction. Dry needling is a therapeutic procedure that involves advancing a sterile filament needle into the myofascial trigger point (knot within a muscle). This allows for the deactivation of the trigger point, thereby reducing pain and restoring the regular length and function of the involved muscle.

​

Dry needling differs from acupuncture because it focuses on reducing pain and restoring functionality by releasing myofascial trigger points in muscle tissue.

When to get Myofascial Dry Needling? How will this benefit my pet?

 

Dry needling is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, rehabilitation from injury, and even pain and injury prevention, with very few side effects. Dry needling also benefits the immune, inflammatory, biochemical, vascular, and neurologic systems. This is an extremely effective treatment for eliminating neuromuscular dysfunction that leads to pain and functional deficits.

​

Its proposed effects are the relaxation of muscle spasms by releasing myofascial trigger points to improve function, assisting in pain relief, reducing inflammation, and improving local healing responses by restoring blood flow to the affected area.
