Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for
thousands of years.
Western acupuncture retains many elements of the traditional practice and combines them with our current understanding of anatomy and neurophysiology.
Acupuncture works by inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body that lie within channels known as meridians.
If these meridians become clogged or blocked, you may experience pain, stiffness or tingling in certain areas of your body.
To remove these blockages, we use acupuncture to stimulate acupuncture points, which releases endorphins, triggers anti-inflammatory responses, and activates your body’s natural healing processes.
Dry needling can also be referred to as myofascial trigger point release.
Trigger points are a very sensitive local spot within a taut band of muscle tissue (often can be felt as a ‘knot’) and can cause pain, stiffness, and muscle dysfunction.
Acupuncture needle is inserted directly into the trigger point and manually stimulated.
After treatment, pain arising from the muscle is much less, movement is much freer and the muscle can activate as it should, appearing stronger.
Prior to surgery, a “prehab phase” is initiated in order to prepare for upcoming surgery and identify potential barriers that can arise before and after surgery.
