Years of study has proven that athletes and individuals who are fond of sports activities have suffered from a sports-related injury. Because of this, several experts have developed different kinds of treatment for different kinds of injuries. The kind of treatment often varies based on the severity of the injury. For milder cases, non-invasive treatments and therapies are offered to relieve pain and help the patients recover faster; more serious injuries may require manual therapy and treatment programs supervised by a licensed therapist, or sometimes surgery.
Over the years, dry needling has become a preferred method of treatment by many athletes when it comes to relieving pain and recovering from an injury. While it remains unknown to some people, a lot of athletes and patients in the western world (and recently in Dubai) who have suffered from a mild injury prefer this non-invasive method of treatment.
What is dry needling?
Dry needling is a method of treatment used to release knots in soft tissues called myofascial trigger points. These points are hypersensitive areas on ligaments, muscles, and tendons that often cause pain and stiffness after an injury.
During the treatment, a physical therapist or licensed specialist will insert monofilament needles into the patient’s skin to treat the underlying trigger points. This method also stimulates the healing process which helps in restoring function, as well as alleviating pain.
Is dry needling painful?
If you are experiencing pain caused by an injury, you may be wondering if booking an appointment for dry needling Dubai would be less painful than the injury itself. Dry needling is considered a pain-free treatment with no side effects.
