What is Dry Needling?

[karenmiddleton]

I just had my first dry needles. What a difference. I could feel my muscles moving. Been having neck and shoulder pain since 2022. Done PT and saw a chiropractor. An an accident in January so back doing PT and alot of new things. So glad this orthopedic doctor added dry needles. Gotta work those muscles too. Thanks for sharing. More people need to know about this.

I tried dry needling this week for the first time for herniated discs. It hurt like the dickens with the needles going in and with the needles coming out! However, the next day, I experienced very little back pain!

I've now had 2 sessions on my back/neck and it is the single best treatment. It's so beneficial and minimally uncomfortable. I reccomend it often!

I love how you put the jumper cables on em.

That is exactly spot I have pain now. I can’t wait to get it done.

Dry needling for TrP release doesn't require electrical stimulation. It is just mechanical eradication. Needle fanning is used to clear all the trigger points in taut bands.

ive had this done many times both with and without the electrical current it never reduced my pain not to say it wont reduce yours just my experience with it

I never heard of this but sure sounds like it's what I need for my sciatica and my SI joint pain and stiffness.
Physical therapy is slowly helping, though.

My chiropractor used dry needling on me for the first time and I have a torn disc and I nearly went through the roof! But she did tell me it would be sore for a couple days but then the pinched nerves sensation would left leg but not the right one as much. I go today for another treatment so we shall see.

Hold up just a second ! You know you're going to have to make another video showing that one-handed needle prep 👍

Hey dude you really need to look at the comments and answer people's questions. Just saying. My chiropractor used that on me for the first time and I thought I was going to go through the ceiling into space it hurts so bad! I have a torn disc.

Can it be used on upper abdomen muscle

This is ABSOLUTELY NOT dry needling.

Dry needling is a technique using a filament needle to inactivate myofascial trigger points. Palpating for the trigger points is the way to identify the myofascial trigger point.

Electronic stimulation using a needle is NOT dry needlling. It is percutaneous electrical stimulation at best.

Repeat. This is not dry needling

What stem machine would you recommend?

[jobolle]

That is not dry needling but electroacupuncture!!

Go to acupuncture school for four years post grad. Then study for your board exams and get a license to practice acupuncturie. Because you are practicing acupuncture without a license. Dry needling is really acupuncture, and what you’re doing is totally acupuncture.

Wow 😀
This is dry needling with muscle stimulation and not acupuncture coz we r targeting muscle 👍not meridian.
Thank you 😊

Tell me please, what brend is apparatus

This is acupuncture no dry needling, for your information most of the meridians fall on the muscles, and in this video he explaied it is done to the skin and not to muscle but he said it is for tennis elbow, which is infammation of lateral epicondyle where forearm extensor muscle attaches. Is it skin or muscle then?
In acupuncture these two points are called as LI 10 and LI 11.
So dry needling is nothing but plain use of acupuncture by Physiotherapists. But they do not want to promote the word acupuncture.

[udithacyrilantony]

This is Acupuncture
I dont know why you call it dry needling?
