Dry needling is based on neuroanatomy and modern scientific study of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. A solid mono-filament needle is inserted through the skin and into the deeper tissues that are considered trigger points to your pain. Dry needling works by creating a micro lesion within the pathological tissue, thereby breaking up shortened tissues, inhibiting a reflex arc from the nervous system to the tissue, normalizing the inflammatory response, and centrally mediating the pain. This mechanical and neuromuscular effect provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal which ultimately reduces pain.
Joint mobilisation techniques are used in order to achieve pain-free full range of motion at a particular joint. Joint manipulation is a forceful end range mobilisation which involves the use of a high velocity thrust.
