Dry Needling or Medical acupuncture is a great way to reduce the pain from trigger points found in tight muscle bands that are a feature of many acute and chronic muscle conditions. It can also be very effective in stimulating tissue repair and reduced pain in chronic tendon problems, such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendon pain.
For tendon problems, the aim is to stimulate an inflammatory response around the tendon in the hope of promoting healing. This is typically used for tendon injuries that have been present for more than 6-8 weeks.
At P&h Therapy Center, we have been using dry needling for many years and have had excellent results.
