How Can you Get the Best Results from Dry Needling. Part 2

Some more helpful tips on seeing the best results from Dry Needling...

When it comes to facial or TMJ Dry Needling-
Definitely use specialized facial acupuncture needles! These do take more skill from your clinician to use though as these needles are more fragile.

Does Electrical Dry Needling work well?
Sorry, no, not in my experience. I've had patients that have experienced both electrical dry needling vs the Travell dry needling I utilize in my office. They are astounded by how much more effective Travell dry needling is!

Electrical dry needling isn't very discriminatory and fails to develop skill in the clinician. It's typically just stick the needle in and hope the electricity does its job.

With Travell dry needling- we are repeatedly perfusing very specifically the tiny bands of muscle in spasm. This allows for immediate oxygen/nutrients back into the painful muscle so it can breath. And flushes out the painful inflammatory chemicals.

Dry Needling is easily the most powerful muscle spasm treatment intervention.  But not every dry needling experience is created equal!   

The clinician's skill level is a huge differentiator.  Just see my patients' reviews for the proof ;)
