Understanding Dry Needling and Acupuncture for Pain Relief
At PhysioExperts in Kanata, Ottawa, our physiotherapists specialize in integrating acupuncture and dry needling into comprehensive treatment plans. Dry needling targets muscular trigger points, while acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, stimulates energy flow through meridian channels. Both techniques involve the insertion of fine, sterile needles to trigger the body’s pain relief mechanisms.
Our team excels in using these methods to enhance your overall recovery, incorporating them with mobilization, exercise, and other therapies. Acupuncture balances energy flow to boost well-being, combat infections, and address issues like headaches and blood pressure problems. Traditional Chinese medicine believes in the balance of yin and yang, where qi is the life force. Imbalances can lead to illness, and acupuncture restores harmony by inserting needles at specific points.
At PhysioExperts, we blend these ancient practices with modern physiotherapy, providing a holistic approach to treatment. Our goal is to ensure you receive the excellent care, helping you regain balance, alleviate pain, and improve your overall health.
