Dry Needling
When a needle is inserted in certain areas of a muscle it can relax the muscle, improving flexibility and relieving pain. It also blocks some of the pain signals arriving at the brain thereby causing some pain relief.
At Liebling Chiropractic Care we use dry needling (if the patient is willing) to help people with
- Pain from muscle spasm and tight muscles
- Pain relief and mobility from Wear & Tear/ arthritis
- Joint injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle
- Chronic Pain management
Do the needles hurt?
Most of our patients much to their surprise don’t feel anything at all when the needle goes in. Others experience some sensations of soreness, heaviness or even numbness while the needle is in
Dr Marcus Liebling is qualified to practice dry needling and he can issue certificates to blood donors to ensure they can continue their donations as normal.
Dry needling is safe when performed by qualified practitioners. You may feel a deep ache for a few hours after your treatment, especially the first. A small bruise may also develop after the treatment. People with a phobia of needles may faint so we will always ask if you are happy to have dry needling treatment. If you have any concerns we can discuss them , you are always at liberty to choose not to have the treatment.
We do not treat people with dry needling if they are taking anti-coagulant medication or they bruise very easily.
Is it accupuncture?
The dry needling method is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. It is not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture. At Liebling Chiropractic Care we use dry needling with chiropractic adjustments, this combination can achieve pain relief and increased flexibility.
Today some medical doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors are using dry needling effectively and extensively within their practices for the treatment of muscle and joint pain.
If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Marcus Liebling know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
