Dry Needling Therapy is a therapeutic technique that targets myofascial trigger points, or “knots,” in the muscles to relieve pain and improve function. *All Care Physiotherapy* offers dry needling therapy at home, delivered by skilled and well-trained physiotherapists. This service is convenient and effective for individuals who require treatment but prefer the comfort of their own space.
Dry Needling Therapy at Home by All Care Physiotherapy:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Each session begins with a detailed assessment by an expert physiotherapist, who will evaluate your specific needs, medical history, and areas of pain or dysfunction. This ensures that dry needling is appropriate for your condition and targets the exact muscles that require attention.
- Safety and Hygiene Standards:
- Sterilized Equipment: The physiotherapist brings single-use, sterile needles and all necessary equipment to your home, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety.
- Sanitized Environment: The therapist ensures that your home setting meets all hygienic requirements for safe treatment.
- Dry Needling Process:
- Identification of Trigger Points: The therapist will locate precise trigger points or tender muscle areas that contribute to your pain and dysfunction.
- Needling Technique: Very thin, fine needles are inserted into these trigger points, causing a local twitch response in the muscle. This helps release tension, reduce pain, and improve blood flow to the area.
- Comfort and Communication: The therapist will guide you through the process, adjusting techniques as necessary to ensure your comfort.
- Additional Therapy Techniques: The therapist may combine dry needling with other manual therapies, such as soft tissue mobilization or light stretching, to enhance treatment results and promote relaxation.
- Post-Needling Care: After the needling session, the therapist may gently massage the area or provide light exercises to help you regain full function in the treated muscles.
- Post-Treatment Care and Recommendations:
– After the session, the therapist will provide aftercare instructions, which may include:
– Hydrating well to aid muscle recovery.
– Avoiding strenuous activity for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
– Using heat or ice if needed for minor soreness.
– Mild soreness is common in the treated area and usually subsides within 1-2 days. - Conditions Benefiting from Dry Needling:
