Dry Needling: A Revolutionary Approach to Pain Relief in Physiotherapy

Dry Needling is an advanced physiotherapy technique designed to target muscle pain and tension at its source. By inserting fine needles into specific trigger points, this treatment promotes healing, reduces muscle tightness, and restores mobility. Whether you're recovering from an injury or seeking relief from chronic pain, dry needling offers a precise and effective solution to accelerate your recovery and enhance your well-being.

HEART-NECK-PAIN-LINK

⠀

THE PERICARDIUM

⠀

[FASCIAL ANATOMY - OSTEOPATHIC APPROACH]

⠀

This post and illustrations are an amazing follow up to my previous post about the pericardium and connection to neck pain.

⠀

The heart (1) has obvious importance for sustaining life but it has a lesser known connection to the more “orthopedic” problems commonly seen amongst patients. Specifically, the fascial outer layering called the pericardium is directly connected to multiple tissues in the thorax and spine.

⠀

On the anterior is the connection to the sternum (2) via the superior and inferior sternopericardiac ligaments (3,4). Superiorly, the link is the cervico-pericardiac ligament (5), which is connected to the deep cervical fascia (green) and houses the trunk of the brachio-cephalic vein (6). Inferiorly, the pericardium directly connects to the diaphragm (7). Lastly, and perhaps most interesting, is the posterior-superior connection to the cervical spine. The Vertebro-pericardiac ligament (8) directly connects the heart to the anterior aspects of C6 and C7.

⠀

Tension on bones is not just muscular, but can be from visceral connections such as this. Tension in this tissue can contribute the anterior translation and sheer forces in the vertebrae and discs. This raises the question why we see so much degeneration, disc herniation and pain at the lower cervical spine. Perhaps a direct connection of cervical problems to poor breathing patterns? Maybe we can positively influence the heart via the neck as therapists? The anatomical LINKS provide us the possibilities!

⠀

How I manipulate the pericardium with a fascial recoil technique via the sternum you can see in my previous post. You can influence the pericardium via the superior and inferior sternopericardiac ligaments (3,4).

Had a patient unwillingly toot while one of his buttcheek was out and about as I was tenderly applying myofascial release of his tight piriformis muscle that recently caused him to walk like a mechanical toy soldier.

what are some ways hypermobility can effect your body that no-one really talks about?

it's interesting actually because i don't think hypermobility is inherently disabling. we've all heard about those freaks (affectionate) who are active and healthy, but just happen to be able to contort their bodies into unbelievable shapes. so much of hypermobility seems to be the way it interacts with other factors. I'll go over some stuff that i know is directly related to hypermobility though!

hypermobility has little to do with joints, and everything to do with everything else. see, muscles are connected to bone by tendons. hypermobility increases the stretch of the tendons. this is like making the ropes attaching your hammock to the trees really stretchy. so when the actual muscle flexes, it first must pull the tendons tight before it can start moving the bone that it's attached to. ergo, hypermobility makes the muscles work harder to achieve the same results as non-hypermobile bodies.

for a lot of people who have hypermobility and don't realize it, and now have chronic pain, this is often due to the overuse of muscles. you are not weak, you are not frail, you are just very, very tired. please look at my pinned post--learning how to treat trigger points has allowed me to treat my pain!! it's reversible!! you CAN get better!!

relatedly, this is why building muscle can help combat the negative effects of hypermobility. but you can't build your muscles until they've been treated for overuse. this is where i think a lot of physiotherapy falters.

seems to be related to estrogen! because estrogen is involved with collagen synthesis, and collagen is the thing in the tendons that makes things stretchier. I've yet to read more into this in detail, but considering hypermobility seems to affect those with higher levels of estrogen in the body, I'm not surprised.

similarly, pregnancy causes the tendons and ligaments to loosen, presumably due to the aforementioned effects of estrogen. whether or not things go back to normal after pregnancy, I don't know.

hypermobility can also affect the veins and nerves, making THEM stretchy as well. I'm more knowledgeable about the muscular impacts, but I've seen suggestions that varicose veins are more likely, causing the veins to stretch around blockages rather than. be blocked by them.

in a fit of irony, i, personally, think that hypermobility actually saves the body from the effects of stress--or more specifically, body wide muscular tension. because when your muscles get tight enough, they pull on the bones and start pinning nerves and crushing veins--literally crushing you to death. having a wibbly, squishy body could totally counter that. could even be why women tend to live longer than men! this bullet point is pure speculation on my part though, so take that with a grain a salt (or however much you want to trust my hypotheses gjfj)

the way hypermobility presents in people can make it difficult to diagnose. for instance, people who aren't super stretchy could be hypermobile, except their muscles have stiffened up so much that they seem like they have normal range of motion. my mother, queen of eds, is like this! that's why it's important to look across a broad range of diagnostic criteria, and consider your history and the current state of your body.

I DONT...actually think stretching makes hypermobility worse. but i do think stretches need to be targeting the right spots to be effective. unfortunately this requires knowing things both about the human body and your own body. it's a lot of work.

oh also hypermobility can make your body feel less stable and more unbalanced. and when you feel unbalanced you start clenching muscles so you don't fall over. and then those muscles get overused and tired, so you clench other muscles to keep THOSE muscles from failing. it's a nasty little feedback loop that can be difficult to break, and if allowed to continue, it can really fuck your shit up.

but i really do want to stress that so many of the problems related to hypermobility are not only treatable but reversible. muscle overuse is a HUGE problem with hypermobility, but after reading the book in my pinned post (and realizing that every pain pattern in there matched MY pain patterns) I've been able to work on recovery.

like i had symptoms of carpel tunnel, of tendonitis, bursitis, even some symptoms of diabetes and pancreatitis, (and more but if i keep listing them we'll be here all day) and the muscle treatment in that workbook has steadily reduced and eliminated those symptoms. my mother was practically bed bound by her disability and now she can go on short walks and feels better than she has in a very long time. it's reversible. you don't have to be in pain forever. we can all get better (it'll just take a while, I've been doing this for a year and a half and I'm still working at it, but what matters is that I'm better)

[jzixuans]

haha question. what exactly do you do at the "huh my wrist kinda hurts" stage. no reason at all (uh oh my wrist hurts)

oh this is a bit of a late answer but

STOP whatever triggers your wrist pain the most. test it a little on various activities! once you identify whatever's the biggest cause of it, limit that activity as much as you can while you sort it out

remember that the wrist is a vertical hinge and does NOT like moving from side to side . unfortunately typing on a keyboard makes you do this and its difficult to avoid

look up some stretches! i used this one from thechekhov as a starting point before i properly started physiotherapy. it's also a good idea to begin familiarizing yourself with the anatomy of the hand, wrist, and arm

IF the pain is flaring up to the point where it's becoming kind of unbearable, my physiotherapist recommended that i do a hot-cold soak. submerge your wrists/forearms in hot water (not boiling hot, but hot enough to still be comfortable) for about 5-7 minutes, then switch to submerging them in cold water (again, not freezing hot, but definitely below room temperature) for another 5-7. repeat two or three times. the hot/cold is supposed to help the blood flow. also remember that i am not a licensed health professional and i was taught this almost four years ago so there is a chance that some details may be misremembered. however i did use this and it did help for a bit so!

SEE A DOCTOR BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. if you're able to, seek massage or physiotherapy for it also! i was in physiotherapy for about three years for this, and it does help! biweekly appointments became weekly, became twice a month, became monthly, became every few months. my wrists still bother me, but they're not nearly as unbearably painful as they used to be =]

if you're in an environment such as school or work that requires you to keep doing Thing That Hurts Your Wrists then see if you can get accommodations for it! this may require a doctor's note but it could be very useful in the long run

i stopped wearing watches and bracelets because my watch became too heavy for me to keep up and they prevented me from resting my wrist flat. you may want to consider this if it applies to you

i also began training myself to sleep flat on my back with my hands either at my side or folded over my stomach vampire-style because sleeping on your side etc Will exacerbate your shoulders and wrists

remember that preventative measures are always preferable to mitigative treatment, but effective mitigation always begins with diligence and awareness!

Physiotherapy in AS Rao Nagar

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of physical impairments, disabilities, and pain. It aims to restore movement and function in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to help patients recover, improve their physical abilities, and enhance their quality of life.

Physiotherapy can include:

Exercises

Massages

Treatments based on physical stimuli, such as heat, cold, electrical currents, or ultrasound

Assistive devices

Patient education and training 

Physiotherapists usually recommend movement and exercise to help improve your mobility and function. This may include:

exercises designed to improve movement and strength in a specific part of the body – these usually need to be repeated regularly for a set length of time

activities that involve moving your whole body, such as walking or swimming – these can help if you're recovering from an operation or injury that affects your mobility

exercises carried out in warm, shallow water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) – the water can help relax and support the muscles and joints, while providing resistance to help you gradually get stronger

advice and exercises to help you increase or maintain your physical activity – advice will be given on the importance of keeping active, and how to do this in a safe, effective way

advice on using mobility aids – such as crutches or a walking stick to help you move around

Your physiotherapist may also recommend exercises that you can continue doing to help you manage pain in the long term or reduce your risk of injuring yourself again.

Types of Therapy in Physiotherapy:

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles and joints, aiming to relieve pain and improve mobility.

Exercise Therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and promote overall physical fitness.

Electrotherapy: Use of electrical modalities, such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and ultrasound, to manage pain and stimulate healing.

Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat or cold to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Advanced high-power laser therapy: It is a medical treatment that uses focused light energy to promote healing and relieve pain.

Dry Needling: Involves inserting thin needles into trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and tension.

Acupuncture: Sometimes incorporated for pain management and to promote healing.

Education and Counseling: Teaching patients about their condition, self-management strategies, and injury prevention techniques.

Pediatric Physiotherapy: Specialized therapy for children to address developmental, neurological, or orthopedic issues.

Cupping therapy: It is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction can help improve blood flow, relieve pain, and promote healing.

Interferential therapy: It is a type of electrotherapy that is used to relieve pain and promote healing skin.

do you have any headcanons about lestappen and one of them has chronic pain or an illness?

Hi anon, thanks for the ask ❤️

I have some ideas how I would approach a Lestappen fanfic about chronic pain. I have put it below the cut.

Just as a content warning - this is about chronic pain for one of the drivers so avoid if you think it may be triggering for you. As always with all these things this is fiction. If I were to write something like this I would probably do quite a bit of research but this is just off the top of my head....

Charles is in a heated championship battle with his teammate Lewis. It's super stressful and there is a lot of noise in the media about how Lewis has the psychological advantage given he already has championship titles.

Charles starts to experience aches and pains that don't go away after normal treatments such as ice baths and physiotherapy. As the season progresses things start getting worse and the pain goes from uncomfortable to almost unbearable and driving is getting harder and harder. After each race he is in agony. Unfortunately everyone keeps assuming his pain is psychological and a result of the pressure of fighting Lewis and they keep telling him to relax. It's not helping and Charles is getting desperate because nobody will believe him but he knows his body better than anyone else and something is wrong.

Cue Max who has known Charles since they were young. He has also been infatuated with Charles for years and is the first person to start noticing changes in the Monegasque - the way he holds himself, the way he moves, how he looks after a race, the way he winces when Max wraps an arm around his waist.

Max confronts Charles and Charles breaks down and tells him what is going on and Max becomes the first person who truly honestly believes that Charles is suffering. Max doesn't just pass off Charles' issues as 'not being able to cope with pressure'.

Max is forceful when it comes to people that he cares about and he has always cared so much for Charles. He becomes an advocate for Charles in terms of medical assistance and isn't afraid to come across as a dick in order to make people listen. He also becomes an outlet for Charles to vent to and tries to provide emotional support and physical help where he can.

Their relationship becomes more intense but Charles is also terrified of getting into a sexual relationship. He tries to be spontaneous with Max but often ends up curled up in pain and getting frustrated and upset with himself. Max is surprisingly patient and they work through the issues, making sure Charles stretches, applies heat pads, does all the things he needs to do in order to get his body to move in the way it should.

Their only point of contention is that Charles is still putting himself in the car and Max doesn't think its worth it given what it is doing to his body. Charles doesn't want to be held back, he is so close to the championship he has worked his whole life for. If he can just hang in there a few months he will have achieved his life dream.

Executive Dysfunction Strategy: Find Something

A disclaimer: this strategy (like any executive dysfunction strategy) will not work for everyone. I’m a freelancer who works from home with no set work hours whose work is inherently broken into chunks of 20-40 minutes each. It is perfectly suited to me, but it might not be suited to you. Still, it might help some of you, so I want to share. Pass it around in case it helps one of your followers, and feel free to add helpful tips of your own.

For Ideal Results:

Be at home (or in the environment you’re trying to keep tidy).

Be able to get up from your computer/workspace for 20+ minutes at a time (ie not tied to a work schedule where you must be present for a series of hours without interruption).

Be able to break your work into chunks (20-40 minutes is best, but any kind of work task with built-in stopping points is ideal; ie after one meeting/call, after 1-2 tasks, each time you finish X pages, etc.; if your work has no built-in stopping points, a series of timers/alarms can work, but this is less effective since you’ll be changing gears mid-work and the disruption might cause more harm than good; test it out and see if it works for you).

Find Something:

When you reach the end of a chunk of work (in my case, every time I finish a batch of “episodes” that I’m editing, which is usually 20-40 minutes in total), GET UP and WALK AWAY FROM THE DESK.

FIND SOMETHING to clean. Literally anything.

The critical thing here is that you are NOT trying to clean an entire room or anything. You are looking for ONE thing you can clean. Look around. Is there some trash on your desk? Pick it up and throw it away. Task complete. Are there clothes on the floor? Pick them up and put them where they belong. Task complete. Is the shelf dusty? Get a damp cloth and wipe it down. Task complete. Are there dishes in the sink? Wash them, dry them, and put them away. Task complete. These tasks can take anywhere from 1-30 minutes depending on the task and your schedule.

Go back to work and do another chunk. Repeat the cycle until your work day is done.

This can also be used when you’re working on a project or playing a video game or what have you, just pick a good stopping point rule (every time I finish a page or chapter / every time my character dies or levels up or finishes a level / etc.).

Instead of cleaning, this can also be used for exercise. (I try to alternate between cleaning tasks and sets of push-ups or leg lifts or stretches or physiotherapy exercises or whatever.)

I was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year and am now properly medicated. This strategy works best when I take my meds (obviously). However, even on days when I am unmedicated (because my psychiatrist is somehow convinced that taking meds every day is inherently bad even though they are not addictive, have no side effects, and days off are always a misery, but that’s another discussion), I find that this strategy helps tremendously. So if you do not have any kind of medication helping you with executive dysfunction, this is still worth a try. It might work for you.

Before I started working like this, I lived in a mountain of mess. Not because I didn’t care or hate cleaning or whatever, but because I didn’t see the mess until it was overwhelming, couldn’t figure out how to get it clean, and couldn’t make myself start even when I had a cleaning plan. I was trying to tackle a large project head-on from scratch and getting overwhelmed.

Flipping it around so that I have to find SOMETHING to clean, multiple times a day, even something very small, means I’m no longer trying to tackle everything. I’m just doing one small thing. Anything. I’m actively LOOKING for something to tidy, which, shockingly, makes the mess easier to see. It turns it into a little game. I’m not allowed to sit back down until I’ve completely a tidying task. The whole system has built-in triggers to start tasks. I’m not trying to work up the strength to Start Task, I have something external saying “ready set GO” which makes it easier to Do The Thing.

And since I’m doing it consistently, over the course of a couple of weeks my entire flat has become pretty tidy. It’s getting harder to find something to clean each time. I’m doing maintenance now instead of trying to tackle huge projects. I’m washing the dishes even when there’s only one thing in the sink. I’m wiping off the table and vacuuming the floor even when they’re mostly clean. I’m taking out the trash and recycling before they overflow. I’m getting the cobwebs and dust bunnies out of the corners before my cat has a chance to eat them like the little freak he is. And the cat’s litter box gets cleaned out and the floor around it swept every day, because those are quick, simple tasks I always grab first.

There is also the advantage that I’m not SITTING in a CHAIR for the ENTIRE DAY anymore. I’m standing up at least once or twice an hour and walking around and moving my body (and sometimes doing full-on proper exercise instead of cleaning). This has helped with my back and hip pain, my chronic neck and shoulder pain. I have a little more energy because, yeah, cleaning is exercise, even if only light exercise. I’m even very gradually starting to lose some of the extra padding around my thighs and backside and building a little muscle.

If you have the ability to try this strategy even just on the weekends or whatever, give it a shot. I really hope it helps some of you.

Also I’m trans and queer and aroace and I’d appreciate it if any transphobes and other exclusionists could make themselves known in the notes so I can report and block you. 😘

What is the difference between Acupuncture And Dry Needling?

Acupuncture and dry needling are two different techniques that involve the insertion of thin needles into the skin for therapeutic purposes. However, the two techniques have some important differences.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. The goal of acupuncture is to balance the flow of energy, or qi, through the body's meridians, or energy channels. Acupuncture is often used to treat chronic pain, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, and other health conditions.

Dry needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique that is often used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other healthcare providers to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Dry needling involves the insertion of needles into tight, painful muscle knots, or trigger points, in order to release tension and improve range of motion. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on the principles of Western medicine and does not involve the manipulation of energy channels.

While both acupuncture and dry needling involve the use of needles, the two techniques differ in their goals, the points targeted, and the underlying principles. It's important to consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine which technique is right for your individual needs.

In conclusion, acupuncture and dry needling are two distinct techniques that both involve the insertion of thin needles into the skin for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that targets specific acupoints on the body to balance the flow of energy or qi through the body's meridians. Dry needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique based on Western medicine that targets trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and improve range of motion. While both techniques use needles, they differ in their goals, the points targeted, and the underlying principles. It's important to consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine which technique is appropriate for your individual needs.

Understanding Dry Needling Physiotherapy at VIP Physiotherapy

Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique used by physiotherapists to alleviate muscle pain, tension, and stiffness. At VIP Physiotherapy, we provide specialized dry needling physiotherapy services to target and relieve trigger points, promoting faster recovery and restoring function. If you're experiencing chronic pain, sports injuries, or muscle tightness, dry needling can be an effective solution.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points—knots in the muscle that cause pain and restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in Western medical practices and focuses on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

The aim of dry needling is to release these tight muscle bands, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to the affected area, ultimately accelerating the healing process. It’s commonly used alongside other physiotherapy treatments to enhance overall recovery.

Benefits of Dry Needling Physiotherapy

Pain Relief: Dry needling effectively reduces pain caused by muscle tension, trigger points, and referred pain from other parts of the body. It’s often used for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

Improved Mobility: Releasing muscle knots helps restore flexibility and range of motion, making it easier to move without discomfort.

Faster Recovery: Dry needling can speed up recovery from sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, or chronic pain conditions. It promotes natural healing by increasing blood circulation and relieving muscle tightness.

Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes dealing with muscle fatigue or tension can benefit from dry needling to recover faster, prevent injury, and improve overall performance.

Complementary Treatment: Dry needling can be used alongside other physiotherapy techniques like manual therapy, exercise, and massage, providing a comprehensive approach to recovery.

Conditions Treated with Dry Needling

At VIP Physiotherapy, dry needling is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

Chronic pain conditions (such as lower back pain and neck pain)

Sports injuries (such as muscle strains and ligament sprains)

Headaches and migraines

Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries

Sciatica and nerve-related pain

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction

Post-surgical recovery

What to Expect During a Dry Needling Session

During a dry needling session at VIP Physiotherapy, a licensed physiotherapist will assess your condition and determine the appropriate treatment areas. Thin needles are gently inserted into the skin and muscle at specific trigger points. You may feel a slight prick and muscle twitch, which is a good sign that the muscle is releasing tension.

While some patients experience immediate relief, others may feel soreness for a short period following the treatment, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. This soreness typically resolves within 24-48 hours, and patients often notice significant improvements in pain and mobility.

Why Choose VIP Physiotherapy for Dry Needling?

At VIP Physiotherapy, our skilled physiotherapists are trained in the safe and effective application of dry needling. We use a holistic approach to ensure that every patient receives personalized care tailored to their specific condition. Our goal is to help you recover faster, reduce pain, and get back to your daily activities with ease.
