Скачать или смотреть Dry Needling for Knee Pain

Knee pain can be a complex issue, especially when muscle tightness and spasms around the knee joint contribute to discomfort. While joint-specific treatments and exercises can be very effective, sometimes additional therapies are needed to fully address the pain. One such technique is dry needling, a highly effective treatment method for reducing muscle spasms, controlling pain, and helping the body reset for better function.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a technique where fine needles are inserted into specific muscles, tendons, or fascia around a painful area to relieve muscle tightness and spasm. The goal of this technique is to target "trigger points" in the muscle tissue that may be causing pain or restricting movement. By stimulating these points, dry needling helps to calm muscle spasms, improve blood flow, and promote healing.
In the case of knee pain, dry needling can be especially beneficial when muscle tension or spasms in the muscles around the knee joint contribute to discomfort. It can also be used when other treatments like motion therapy or chiropractic adjustments aren’t enough to alleviate the pain.
How Dry Needling Works for Knee Pain
When dry needling is used for knee pain, the practitioner inserts needles into specific areas around the knee joint where tightness or discomfort is felt. These areas might include:
Quadriceps: The large muscles at the front of the thigh that are involved in knee movement.
Hamstrings: The muscles at the back of the thigh that help stabilize the knee joint.
Calf Muscles: Located below the knee, these muscles play a role in knee extension and flexion.
The needles are carefully inserted into the muscles to release tight spots (trigger points) that might be causing pain or restricting movement. By targeting these areas, dry needling can help the muscles relax, reduce inflammation, and allow the body to begin the healing process.
