Dry Needling
in Alicante
Direct treatment of contractures and muscle trigger points with fast results at our clinic in Playa de San Juan.
Dry needling is an invasive physiotherapy technique that uses acupuncture needles to inactivate trigger points: tight bands of muscle that cause local and referred pain. Effective where other techniques can't reach.
Invasive physiotherapy technique for contractures and myofascial pain. Applied by specialised physiotherapists in Playa de San Juan, Alicante.
What is it?
Dry needling: science-based invasive physiotherapy
Dry needling is an invasive physiotherapy technique that involves inserting acupuncture needles into active or latent myofascial trigger points. Unlike traditional acupuncture, it is based on Western anatomy and neurophysiology: its goal is to provoke a local twitch response (LTR) that releases the contracture and normalises muscle activity.
Active trigger points
Highly irritable areas within a muscle that cause spontaneous local pain, and pain referred to other areas of the body, limiting movement and function.
Local twitch response
Precise needle insertion causes an involuntary contraction of the muscle that releases accumulated tension and normalises neuromuscular activity.
Superficial and deep needling
A superficial technique for sensitised tissue and a deep one for muscles with trigger points that are hard to reach by hand, always with safety controls.
Compatible with manual therapy
It is usually combined with joint mobilisation and therapeutic exercise to maximise and consolidate the results of treatment.
Who is it for?
Indications for dry needling in Alicante
Dry needling is especially indicated for patients with chronic or acute muscle pain that does not respond sufficiently to conventional manual treatment. At OneLab we use it at our clinic in Playa de San Juan when the assessment indicates it.
Chronic myofascial pain. Persistent contractures in the neck, shoulder, lower back and legs with active trigger points.
Tension headaches. Caused by trigger points in the suboccipital muscles, trapezius and sternocleidomastoid.
Sports injuries. Muscle overload, tendinopathies and repetitive strain syndromes in athletes.
Referred pain. When the source of the pain is not where it is felt and muscles at a distance are involved.
