Dry needling - Physiotherapy - FisioClinics Palma

It shares a similarity to acupuncture but is based on different goals and rationale. Dry needling was created to specifically treat myofascial trigger points, which are regions in the muscles that become tighter and cause an incredible amount of pain and dysfunction to areas adjacent to the affected muscle.

What is Dry Needling and what are its benefits?

When a myofascial trigger point or tight muscle band is present, pain occurs that is usually quite annoying and intolerant. Trigger points appear when the sarcomeres (basic structural units of muscle) contract permanently, reducing blood flow and causing pain. The dry needling “pricks” the trigger point with the needle and releases the contraction of the muscle fibers.

Dry needling generates a local contraction response that then relaxes the taut band, promotes circulation again, and reduces pain. We can then say that dry needling improves the biochemical and electrical functions of the motor plates. The physiotherapists at FisioClinics Palma de Mallorca are trained in anatomy and certified in this treatment technique, so you can be sure that you will receive quality service and durability. Any pathology that generates myofascial pain can be addressed with this treatment method, some of them are:

• Sports injuries
• Tendinopathies
• Spinal pain (cervical pain, back pain, low back pain)
• Myofascial syndrome
• Among other.

How do we apply Dry Needling at FisioClinics Palma de Mallorca?

The dry needling technique consists of puncturing exactly the different stress points and thus achieving relaxation of the fiber. Later the pains or dysfunctions will disappear. It is a technique that generates great improvement in the patient and returns the lost functionality. Our physiotherapists have extensive experience in the use of this technique so they will be the ones who, through the evaluation, will indicate if it is necessary for the rehabilitation treatment you deserve.
