What can I gain from dry needling?
There is a large variety of musculoskeletal issues that can be treated with dry needling in Orléans, St. Laurent Blvd in Ottawa, Westboro area of Ottawa or Stittsville, ON.
When paired with our traditional exercise-based physiotherapy and massage therapy treatments and advanced manual therapy techniques, we have found that the vast majority of our patients achieved their recovery goals they were aiming towards.
After conducting a comprehensive evaluation to assess the nature of your condition, our physiotherapist will let you know if this is the best course of treatment for you.
We have used dry needling to treat several diverse conditions, from chronic pain sufferers to athletes experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness.
Will I experience discomfort with dry needling?
Most of our patients report feeling little to no discomfort when undergoing dry needling treatments.
Our highly-trained physiotherapists and registered massage therapists in Orléans, St. Laurent Blvd in Ottawa, Westboro area of Ottawa or Stittsville, ON know how to make the process as painless as possible; however, some patients may still experience a “twitch response” with the insertion of the needle.
This is comparable to a quick muscle cramp or ache. The 24-48 hours following a treatment may also result in muscle soreness, which should go away on its own.
Sore muscles can be treated at home by applying ice and/or heat packs and drinking plenty of fluids.
So, what does dry needling do?
This treatment method is used by our licensed physiotherapists and registered massage therapists as a way to relieve pain.
Our physiotherapist will insert a sterile needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.
While it is a common misconception, dry needling is not acupuncture. It is based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. While there are some similarities, it is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.
It provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
