Dry needling is a form of acupuncture. Acupuncture can be a little intimidating, however. I mean there is nothing appealing about sticking needles into your body. That is if you don’t know the benefits of the process.
There are several benefits of dry needling, both mental and physical. Many people have called it a life-changing practice. We couldn’t disagree even if we wanted to.
With that said; you need to go to a reliable clinic for dry needling. That’s where Physio Support comes in. We are your go-to guys for dry needling in Ireland; our qualifications speak for themselves.
But before we discuss why you should try dry needling and why you should go with us, what even is dry needling?
What Is Dry Needling?
Modern medical acupuncture finds its roots in traditional Chinese acupuncture. Much like in other medical fields, China was ahead of its times in acupuncture and their methods are still in use.
Today, dry needling is a staple in modern medical acupuncture. As the name suggests, it is the practice of sticking needles in trigger points in the body. These needles are either solid filiform or hollow-core hypodermic.
Whatever needles are used, it doesn’t hurt very much. At least not for most people. Everyone has different thresholds for pain and it would be unfair for us to assume that it is not going to sting you.
What we can guarantee is that the pain won’t be unbearable. It may take a little time to warm up but eventually, you get used to it. The pain is all worth it, anyway.
Benefits of Dry Needling
It’s a tremendous task to convince someone to stick needles into their body on purpose but thankfully, the positive effects of dry needling make it easy.
Pain Relief
Let’s start by discussing the main benefit of dry needling; its main purpose. Dry needling is done to get rid of any muscle pain. For people going through this pain, the needles feel like tickles in comparison.
Dry needling is super effective for this purpose. There are barely any alternatives that work nearly as well for pain relief.
Stress Relief
Believe it or not, dry needling is lethal to stress. People used to think that the effects of this procedure were purely physical but modern science has proved them wrong.
There is a perfectly logical and easy-to-understand explanation for this. When the needles are inserted, signals are sent to the emotional center of the brain through the nerves.
