​Muscles need two things in order to properly work: activation and strength. 

1. Needling motor points of injured muscles will help activating the muscle and through the muscle's motor neuron it help reconnecting it with your brain 🧠.

2. Needling around the injury site the needle breaks up accumulations and cause micro trauma. Blood then brings the healing cells of inflammation, nutrients and oxygen and carries away waste products. 
​
3. Various Traditional Chinese Acupoints stimulate circulation, reduce pain, swelling, inflammation and move energy.

​Myofascial trigger points are palpable knots, a wad of muscle fibers staying in a hard contraction, never relaxing. They may cause localized pain, referred pain or reduced range of motion and function. Whether they are caused by new or old injuries, improper or overtraining, incorrect posture or just life, trigger point acupuncture/dry needling is very effective in the treatment of muscle pains and help to return the natural balance to your muscles.

​Your dry needling sessions are complimented with evaluation of your movement and suggestion of corrective exercises are also provided. These two I find are essential to really correct and overcome the problem. Dry needling is one of the safest ways to address physical problems such as chronic neck, back pain, sciatica, TMJ, tension headaches or whiplash injuries .

Cupping therapy, especially when it is combined with acupuncture, dry needling and corrective exercise is very beneficial for shoulder pain.

Guess where this patient's pain is? Hint - it's the darkest spot. The infraspinatus muscle is strained. 

Cupping marks are diagnostic, darker color means that the blood in that area doesn't flow freely, causing "stagnation". Cupping "moves the blood", improves circulation, releases fascial tightness, loosens tightness, reduces pain and fastens healing. 

This patient has an infraspinatus strain from swimming. He is being seen twice a week for acupuncture, dry needling, cupping and corrective exercises to relieve pain and build a strong and balanced body. He is training for a full Ironman.

In the USA we don't have access to this kind of needle unfortunately. Here patient is being treated for herniated disc, and this needle is being used to help the patient overcome it.

​Needling into the injury site creates a micro trauma, which improves blood flow to the area. Blood brings the healing cells of inflammation, nutrients and carries away the waste products. 

Patients with herniated disc need acupuncture / dry needling two to three times a week initially. As the pain and inflammation subside, gentle corrective exercises and various stretches are being introduced to retrain the muscles and to build a strong, functional and balanced body.
