Therefore it is ideal to keep yourself in check to help maintain areas that are not able to keep up with the demands needed daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry Needling comes into play here as it helps to relieve pain and soreness in the affected muscles. Usually they are placed in areas where there are trigger points and they can be reduced to give relief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dry Needling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems, neuromuscular dysfunction, muscle imbalances and pain syndromes. Therapy is specifically aimed to help with muscular pain, myofascial pain syndrome, hypertonic and tender muscles, overuse injury, painful tendons, tender ligaments and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many muscular related conditions are thought to be a primary contributing factor to pain and other related symptoms. These conditions include, but are not limited to neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, golfer&#8217;s elbow, headaches, migraines and tension-type headaches, jaw pain, buttock pain, pelvic pain, leg pain, sciatica, hamstrings strains, calf tightness\/spasms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/dry-needling\">Dry Needling<\/a>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain relief<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/how-your-chiropractor-can-help-with-stress\/\">Decreased Stress<\/a><\/li><li>Promotion of healing<\/li><li>Increased range of motion<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/can-a-chiropractor-help-with-flexibility\/\">Increased Flexibility<\/a><\/li><li>Increased circulation of blood<\/li><li>Allows for muscle release<\/li><li>Helps with the bodies biomechanics<\/li><li>Increased strength and overall function of the area<\/li><li>Can be used on hard to release muscle areas (muscle strain, tendon injuries, TMJ)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?resize=512%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DailyActivityTMC.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-328\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/running_cover_1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Able To Enjoy Daily Activities (Decreased Tension)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size\"><strong>What Is Trigger Point Dry Needling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry needling is the use of either solid filiform needles or hollow-core hypodermic needles, to be inserted directly into the trigger points and muscle bundles to act as a stimulant from underneath the skin.<br><br>The process of dry needling, either with or without Myotherapy Massage will help to increase circulation and blood flow, thus speeding up repair of the area and its surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-larger-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does Trigger Point Dry Needling Do?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry needling of a trigger point will elicit an involuntary reflex in the muscle fibres which forces blood, oxygen and inflammation into the muscle. In turn, the nerve endings in the muscle will be stimulated, resulting in a reduction in pain and release of tension in the muscle.<br><br>It elicits the same response as with non-invasive trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage.
