I just had my first dry needles. What a difference. I could feel my muscles moving. Been having neck and shoulder pain since 2022. Done PT and saw a chiropractor. An an accident in January so back doing PT and alot of new things. So glad this orthopedic doctor added dry needles. Gotta work those muscles too. Thanks for sharing. More people need to know about this.
I tried dry needling this week for the first time for herniated discs. It hurt like the dickens with the needles going in and with the needles coming out! However, the next day, I experienced very little back pain!
I have a torn disc and my chiropractor used dry needling on me and I thought I was going to go through the freaking ceiling! It did help someone but I'm going for another treatment today so we shall see.
I don't give a damn what it's called, my sciatic was pinched due to lumbar degeneration & holy hell, this was like black magic. Completely changed my life in about 3 treatments.
Hello! I would like to have a little more information, if you don't mind sharing. How many minutes did your dry needling session last? How many sessions did you receive? How long did your pain stay away?
Dry needling for TrP release doesn't require electrical stimulation. It is just mechanical eradication. Needle fanning is used to clear all the trigger points in taut bands.
ive had this done many times both with and without the electrical current it never reduced my pain not to say it wont reduce yours just my experience with it
I never heard of this but sure sounds like it's what I need for my sciatica and my SI joint pain and stiffness. Physical therapy is slowly helping, though.
Just to help you i have a back injury that Causes sciatic pain. One i am sorry you have that, it hurts like hell. 2. Try this out i did my first time yesterday and it helps, i was also told to do it three times. But its worth it!! I hope you get better
My chiropractor used dry needling on me for the first time and I have a torn disc and I nearly went through the roof! But she did tell me it would be sore for a couple days but then the pinched nerves sensation would left leg but not the right one as much. I go today for another treatment so we shall see.
This is ABSOLUTELY NOT dry needling. Dry needling is a technique using a filament needle to inactivate myofascial trigger points. Palpating for the trigger points is the way to identify the myofascial trigger point. Electronic stimulation using a needle is NOT dry needlling. It is percutaneous electrical stimulation at best. Repeat. This is not dry needling
Hey dude you really need to look at the comments and answer people's questions. Just saying. My chiropractor used that on me for the first time and I thought I was going to go through the ceiling into space it hurts so bad! I have a torn disc.
This is acupuncture no dry needling, for your information most of the meridians fall on the muscles, and in this video he explaied it is done to the skin and not to muscle but he said it is for tennis elbow, which is infammation of lateral epicondyle where forearm extensor muscle attaches. Is it skin or muscle then? In acupuncture these two points are called as LI 10 and LI 11. So dry needling is nothing but plain use of acupuncture by Physiotherapists. But they do not want to promote the word acupuncture.
This is orthopedic electro-acupuncture where we yes target the muscle and trigger points. Targeting meridian-organ systems is internal medicine, and it can often be supportive in pain relief. He is using an acupuncture filiform needle. Acupuncturists do dry needling too.
It’s acupuncture , you put a needle into a painful point , you retained the needle , you used estim , all acupuncture . Don’t get your 27-54 hours of training as being an expert on what you call “dry needling” this is the same technique I would use in my clinic to treat myofascial pain… and yes according to tcm meridian theory . You’re on a channel… it’s great work you’re doing that’s for sure, and yes this will get relief , but it’s also called acupuncture … I’ll accept you call it DN because you don’t know anything about tcm except for what ever they told you in the DN course you took, but yes this is 1000 percent a acupuncture technique , estim needles has been part of acupuncture training and practiced since 1931. You can’t just appropriate a technique and say oh it’s something else because I called it a muscle and not a meridian… we target muscles too… acupuncturist are current on anatomy… seem to have a very narrow definition of acupuncture … our 4 year training includes over 900 hours of supervised practice … not a couple of weekend courses and told to go needle people without any supervised practice… I find it funny that you don’t know acupuncturist don’t treat muscles lol …
@@udithacyrilantony skin come before muscles , read some anatomy, there are no meridians in body, accupunture is pseudoscience only. he is targeting muscle, but you have to penetrate through skin.

He mentions several times that the needle is in the muscle. He's also using electronic stimulation, which AFAIK is not standard practice in acupuncture.
@@chestnutpuckin acupuncture points are in muscles, and we use electrical stimulators to enhance the result. This is acupuncture. Dry needling is a madeup name.
Go to acupuncture school for four years post grad. Then study for your board exams and get a license to practice acupuncturie. Because you are practicing acupuncture without a license. Dry needling is really acupuncture, and what you’re doing is totally acupuncture.
I totally agree with you. These are acupuncture points. Thesy say they target the muscles. And in acupuncture the meridians fall on muscle for example LI 4 hoku falls on the highest point on adductor policis muscle
A friend of mine had both of her lungs punctured in multiple places through this treatment. PLEASE do your research and know exactly who you are going to before getting this treatment
