Dry needling can help reduce pain and soreness

Do you suffer from chronic muscle pain? Trouble with your joints? Pain interfering with all the aspects of your life? Well, you are not alone.

An estimated 1.7 billion people suffer from musculoskeletal pain globally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It is the leading cause of disability in about 160 countries.

There are many treatments for muscle pain. Medications, surgery, steroid injections, and others. But these all come with risks and a prolonged recovery time. This is why many people are now seeking non-surgical drug-free natural remedies for pain.

One such alternative pain treatment is dry needling. Don’t be fooled by its name. Poking needles into your body may be cringe-worthy, but the benefits will amaze you.

Dry needling helps men and women with various musculoskeletal conditions. It is an effective natural treatment that relieves your muscle pain with minimal downtime and immediate results.

How does dry needling work?

In short, it works by stimulating your brain when the needles are gently pierced through your myofascial trigger points. Stay with us here. Myofascial is just an intelligent way of saying chronic muscular pain disorder. In plain English, it’s a pain caused by muscle irritation.

What Are The Benefits Of Dry Needling?

Eases Your Pain

A study shows dry needling can treat myofascial pain or chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Deep dry needling can be preferred since it bores deeper into the muscle and connective tissue. In contrast, superficial needling is inserting the needle under the skin or subcutaneous tissue.

Several studies also reveal immediate effects and short-term improvement in pain with only a few sessions.

Relaxes Your Tight Muscles

You may experience pain in the form of a stiff or knotted muscle. It happens when your muscle fibres contract and don’t return to their relaxed state. Stress, injury, pinched nerve, or other abnormalities in your body tend to cause knots and stiffness.

Also called a myofascial trigger point, it can be painful and hard to move as the muscle lacks oxygenated blood. Dry needling relaxes the myofascial trigger points causing your muscle to twitch. The muscle then goes back to its lengthy state, and natural movement returns.

Restores Your Muscle Function

As dry needling eases your trigger points, the muscle becomes less stiff or tense. As a result, proper mobility and range of motion are achieved.

Athletes, in particular, can benefit from dry needling. Their muscles may be injured due to repeated use or incorrect movements over time. Dry needling improves their muscles’ range of motion resulting in better performance.

Speeds Up Your Recovery Time

One of the biological effects of dry needling is vasodilation. As a result, there is an increase in blood flow, and the affected area receives the needed oxygen and nutrients for the muscles to heal.

Moreover, there is minimal downtime as dry needling only takes a few minutes. Generally, people bounce back to their daily routine after the procedure.

Less Costly

Dry needling is a minimally invasive procedure compared to surgery, and it poses a low risk for severe complications. Besides that, dry needling is more affordable. The reasonable cost makes it more accessible to those looking for a pain management treatment that’s worth the price.

An added plus, patients do not have to shell out cash for hospital admissions.
