Dry Needling at Genesis Integrated Medicine
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialized treatment technique utilized by Dr. John Beedle at Genesis Integrated Medicine to address a variety of musculoskeletal issues. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific trigger points in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
During dry needling sessions, Dr. Beedle carefully identifies trigger points—areas of tight muscle fibers or knots—that may be causing pain or restricting movement. By inserting fine needles directly into these trigger points, he stimulates the nervous system, promoting a local twitch response. This response helps release tension and improve blood flow to the affected area, facilitating the body's natural healing processes.
Benefits of Dry Needling
-
Pain Relief: Dry needling can effectively alleviate acute and chronic pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic tension.
-
Improved Range of Motion: By targeting and releasing tight muscles and trigger points, dry needling can enhance flexibility and restore normal movement patterns, allowing patients to regain full range of motion.
-
Accelerated Healing: The microtrauma induced by the needles triggers the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and other healing factors, which can expedite recovery from injuries.
-
Complementary Treatment: Dry needling can be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as chiropractic adjustments, exercise therapy, and functional medicine, to optimize outcomes and address underlying issues contributing to pain and dysfunction.
