What is INTEGRATIVE DRY NEEDLING.......
proper function to abnormally behaving muscles. Nodules, or knots, and
tight bands that develop in the muscle create localized pain or send pain
signals to other locations. The affected muscles become *locked* and cannot
function normally, which restricts movement and causes chronic pain.
Nodules develop from overuse, trauma, poor posture, lack of exercise, sleep
disturbances, vitamin deficiencies, joint arthritis or nerves compressed at
the spine and other locations. These painful areas contain biochemicals
that cause pain to the local nerves and decreased oxygen flow, or *ischemia*,
which causes the muscle fibers to lock.
Of the many treatment methods applied to painful muscles, none are quite as
effective – fast acting and long lasting – as MFTrPDN. It short-circuits
the vicious pain cycle in a very direct way that other methods cannot accomplish. The muscle contracture releases to its normal length, circulation is improved, swelling recedes and the pain-causing biochemicals disperse, eliminating their noxious effect on local nerves.
Dry needling utilizes sterile, thin monofilament needles, and relief is often rapid with a reduction in pain and improved function.
Glide cupping
Some therapists also call glide Cupping massage cupping or slide cupping. For this technique, cups will be moved along the muscle tissue like doing massage using a cup. The difference is that massage using pressure while glide cupping using negative pressure, which breaks the blood capillary and therefore promotes the toxins to be expelled faster.
Dynamic cupping
Dynamic cupping technology combines traditional therapy with advanced technologies. Through the process of rhythmic alternation of suction and release, blood circulation would speed up and the recovery process would become faster. To some extent, dynamic cupping is similar to flashing cupping. The difference is that the latter removes the cups and therefore interrupts the cupping to release the local area, whereas the former decreases the suction degree to a certain extent without completely interrupt the suction process. Unlike continuous cupping, the intermittent suction and release not only hurts you less but also has a more significant effect on stimulating the subcutaneous nerves, thereby speed up the process of relaxing muscles tightness and reducing pain and soreness.
