We all get painful trigger points from time to time no matter what our profession is And we try different professional approaches or therapies to ease an irritating trigger point.
Once these trigger points develops, it can be very difficult to get rid of ! Severe trigger points may even detract from your quality of sleep or cause you to avoid certain types of physical activity, resulting in further secondary problems like fatigue, restless and weight gain.
The trigger point is a direct and palpable source of pain, often containing multiple contracted knots in the muscle that may feel like tight bands.
These “muscle knots” can cause pain, limit motion and affect performance. If left untreated, they can worsen over time.
Trigger point kinesio dry needling is a treatment used by physical therapists who are certified as KDNT Therapists to eliminate these trigger points.
It involves inserting a sterile thin filament/acupuncture needle into the tight or sore muscle. It is called “dry needling” because, unlike a steroid injection, no substance is put into the body. When the needle penetrates the knots in a muscle, it elicits a twitch response, indicating a release or deactivation of the painful trigger point. At the cellular level, the muscle’s physiology changes to better absorb calcium, improve circulation, encourage tissue remodeling and promote healing.
Fortunately, many people are now finding relief from trigger points through Kinesio Dry Needling Therapy (KDNT).
