Western Medical Acupuncture at Active Chiropractic
Targeted Relief for Persistent Pain
Western Medical Acupuncture (also referred to as Dry Needling) is an advanced technique that can provide significant relief for those struggling with persistent pain and muscle tension.
Understanding Western Medical Acupuncture
Western Medical Acupuncture is a skilled intervention that uses a thin, filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular and connective tissues. This technique aims to:
- Release muscle tension and knots
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve blood flow to affected areas
- Enhance range of motion and flexibility
When Is Western Medical Acupuncture Recommended?
We often suggest Western Medical Acupuncture for patients experiencing:
- Chronic muscle pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments
- Referred pain patterns that don’t align with typical nerve distributions
- Muscle tension associated with headaches or migraines
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain injuries
Your Western Medical Acupuncture Session: What to Expect
A typical Western Medical Acupuncture session at Active Chiropractic lasts about 20 minutes, though it may be shorter when combined with chiropractic treatment. Stephen or Stormee will carefully explain the process, address any concerns, and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
While you may experience some temporary soreness or stiffness following treatment, many patients report significant relief even after their first session.
Integrating Western Medical Acupuncture into Your Care Plan
At Active Chiropractic, we believe in a comprehensive approach to your health. Western Medical Acupuncture is often most effective when combined with other treatments such as chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy.
We’ll work with you to create a personalised care plan that may include a series of Western Medical Acupuncture sessions, typically ranging from 5-6 treatments, to achieve optimal results.
