What is a dry needle?
dry needle is an invasive therapeutic procedure that includes inserting solid fiber needles to relieve muscle pain. Although it is similar to Chinese acupunture techniques, Suché Jehning is based on Western neurophysiological and anatomical principles. Treatment is used specifically to control pain in the musculoskeletal system and especially for people suffering from myofascial pain syndrome.
myofascial pain syndrome, which is characterized by muscle pain and related connective tissue, can be acute or chronic. This is due to the overload of muscles factors such as trauma, disease, infection, homeostatic imbalance and psychological stress. This load on the muscles then causes trigger points (TR) to form. The trigger points were first identified by Janet Travell's physician as hyperrirdial points in skeletal muscles due to localized contraction of a small number of muscle fibers in a larger muscle, a mold that produces and keeps the pain associated with the sonDromem myofascial pain. These nodes, which are the main diagnostic indication of the condition, are identified by palpation and related symptoms of tenderness and pain.
Initial treatment of these trigger points included inserting the needle through the skin and into the muscle for Trp and then injection of analgesics. At the end of the 70s, it was found that pain relief in patients who had myofascial complaints seemed to be more correlated with the actual needle pressure in suffering than any pain used. For dry injection, which correctly relieved the pain, but the needle has to need a needle through accurate contact with the TR.
If the TR is correctly stimulated, a local gauzing response will be created. This local twitching is an involuntary reflex of the spinal cord that produces contraction in tightenated muscles. It is assumed that the analgesic effect of the dry injection is caused by the subsequent stimulation of the production of opioids that already naturally produce the body,Including endorphins, endomorphins, dymorins and enkefalins.
The actual efficacy of dry injection has not been known since 2011, because studies that examined the technique and its effects had small samples and poor quality data. This method of treatment is practiced by chiropractors and physiotherapists in countries such as Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Dry needles are also done in Chile, New Zealand and Spain. In the United States, dry needles are used as a therapeutic technique, but is only legal in some countries.
