Trigger point dry needling is a technique used to increase blood flow to knots, alleviate muscle tension and pain, and improve movement without the use of medication.
An innovative Australian device designed to improve motor control, reduce pain and injury, and improve mobility. The Oov device mimics spine movements.
Dry Needling can treat a number of different aches and pains associated with:
● Joint problems (back, neck, shoulders, knees, etc.)
● Disc problems
● Tendinitis
● Headaches
● Jaw and mouth problems (TMJD)
● Whiplash
● Repetitive motion disorders
● Spinal problems
Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation
(PBM). During PBM, photons enter the tissue and trigger a biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, which can decrease pain and inflammation and accelerate the healing process.
● Muscle tightness
● The persistent pain and inflammation from chronic conditions such as TMJ, fibromyalgia, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis.
● Aid in post-activity recovery
● Dry needling employs a sterile, one-time use, fine filament needle that is inserted into the agitated muscle to decrease pain and increase mobility through the release of myofascial trigger points, or knots in the muscle.
● A myofascial trigger point is a group of muscle fibers that have been shortened due to use, but have not been able to return back to their original or relaxed state. When these trigger points become tight, they compress the capillaries and nerves, thus decreasing mobility. This can lead to discomfort when touched, moved, or stretched.
A fine needle will be inserted into the center of the targeting myofascial trigger point, allowing blood to pool around the needle to trigger the agitated muscle fibers. In turn, this will provide muscle relaxation, fresh oxygen, and nutrients to the surrounding area.
