Orthopedic Acupuncture W/ Catherine Dayhoff
Orthopedic acupuncture includes acupuncture neurology, trigger point, motor point and dry needling. Orthopedic acupuncture helps to rehabilitate injuries and manage persistent pain conditions of the musculoskeletal system as well as improving movement impairment. The musculoskeletal system includes joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves and the structures that support the neck, back and limbs. Orthopedic acupuncture is a valuable treatment for muscle tightness, spasm, muscle spasticity, swelling, and painful trigger points. Orthopedic acupuncture is based on both modern physiology, neurology and biomechanics and clinically effective evidence based traditional Eastern medicine.
This is where East meets West ~ the best of both medical systems combined.
How it works:
Orthopedic acupuncture reprograms the body via neural reprogramming. Neural reprograming happens at the soft tissue level that communicates via the neural network. This process encourages muscle and tendon systems to unwind, relax and allow for lengthening of tight bands of muscle. This process reduces and eliminates pain.
This therapeutic treatment does not require uncomfortable manual therapy or painful needling. Orthopedic acupuncture is very effective without the discomfort associated with other types of therapies or needling.
During and after treatment, patients feel a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Relaxation has an important role in healing. When the nervous system is free from tension and stress the body can begin the healing process. Until the nervous system gets the signal that it is safe to relax it wont allow for full healing to begin.
A reduction of pain should be noticed within the first 24-48 hours after treatment lasting 3 days to a week after the initial visit and each visit builds on the previous treatment providing long lasting results.
