The taut trigger spots often found in muscles and superficial connective tissue (fascia) can be the source of severe pain and dysfunction of limbs and joints. Headache, nausea, dizziness, the signs of autonomic nerve disturbance or irritating thoracic, or lower back nerve-entrapment can be successfully treated by the therapy. Benefits also include increased range of muscles and joints motions, improved circulation, immunity, flexibility and motor-coordination.
Myofascial Dry Needling
This therapeutic technique is based on the approach of Dr Travell and Dr Simons to the treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndromes. The skin overlying the trigger points is infiltrated with a single use acupuncture needle, with the purpose of de-activating the ache point, which also sends referred pain.
