Dry Needling canton

Dry needling canton is an effective and modern treatment for myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia, which cause muscle knots (knotted or hardened areas of the muscles). Physical therapists use thin, sterilized needles inserted into specific locations and depths in the muscle. These needles stimulate a healing response and relieve your pain by targeting trigger points in the muscles, which are areas of knotted muscle fibers that may restrict movement patterns and cause pain and tenderness. The insertion of the needles usually causes little or no discomfort, but some patients can feel the needle prick when it is placed in a tight muscle.

A physical therapist trained in dry needling will evaluate your condition and determine if it’s right for you. If it’s a good fit, the therapist will guide you through the treatment session, which will take about an hour or less. The physical therapist will use the needles in conjunction with electrical stimulation to enhance the treatment and help relax the muscle even more.

Some conditions that dry needling can help include back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain and fibromyalgia. It can also be used to treat sports injuries, such as hamstring strains and tennis elbow. A recent study found that combining deep and superficial dry needling reduced pain and disability in people with spine-related pain and stiffness.
