Trigger Point Dry Needling Westmead

Best Dry Needling Treatment in Sydney

Trigger Point Dry Needling, also known as myofascial trigger, point dry needling, involves the use of solid filiform needles (similar to acupuncture needles) or hollow-core hypodermic needles to address muscle pain, including pain associated with myofascial pain syndrome.

This technique, commonly employed by physical therapists, targets myofascial pain using a “dry” needle, devoid of medication or injection, which is inserted through the skin into muscle areas known as trigger points. A trigger point is a sensitive area within the body that, when stimulated or irritated, can cause a specific response in another part of the body, often manifesting as tender areas within muscles, resulting in generalized musculoskeletal pain when excessively stimulated.

Benefits of Trigger Point Dry Needling

Pain Reduction: Dry needling typically leads to immediate or short-term pain and disability improvements by targeting trigger points. It effectively reduces pain by addressing trigger points, enhancing both active and passive range of motion, and decreasing the pressure pain threshold in these areas. Multiple studies provide evidence that dry needling specific myofascial trigger points can alleviate pain and sensitivity in those regions.
Improved Movement: Patients undergoing dry needling therapy in conjunction with stretching and strengthening exercises tend to experience smoother and more fluid movement.
Accelerated Recovery: Patients undergoing dry needling therapy often experience rapid pain reduction, with some individuals noticing immediate relief.
