WHat is aCUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture, also known as dry needling when practiced without the Traditional Chinese Medicine theories, is used alongside massage as an integrated approach to pain and inflammation. It involves the insertion of sterilised, single-use, needles into and around a trigger point (an area in the muscle which becomes adhered and causes stiffness, tenderness, decreased range-of-motion, and referred pain into other areas). These are usually left in for 15-30 minutes.
This can help in pain relief, sleep and well being.
Dry needling is used to facilitate relaxation in specific muscles following trauma, unresolved muscular pain or as a means of increasing muscle length. The needle is inserted until the muscle relaxes- much quicker than traditional acupuncture.
