Dry Needling
Dr. Deb from Well Adjusted, LLC Chiropractic Wellness Center is certified in "Dry Needling"! Dry needling uses small filament needles, the same as acupuncture, but does not use the same Chinese medicine theory and it's considered "Western Medical Acupuncture." This technique focuses on trigger points, muscle and fascia points helping with muscular, skeletal and neurological conditions. It has risen in the past 15 or so years among healthcare professionals as well as those receiving the technique. Dry needling can help to improve pain control, increase range of motion, eliminates or decreases trigger points within the muscles, resets muscle tone and more. It is very popular within athletics as well as the rest of the population. Just some of the conditions dry needling can help with:
Headaches
Neck Pain
Low Back Pain
Shoulder pain
Hip pain
Knee pain
TFL pain
Runner's Knee
Plantar Fasciitis
Carpal Tunnel
Improve function and movement patterns and more!
Cupping
Cupping, also known as “microcirculation therapy or vacuum therapy,” is an ancient form of alternative medicine that places different-sized cups on the area to be treated. Dr. Deb uses dry cupping in her practice using a hand pump so negative pressure is applied to the skin. The theory for dry cupping it to increase blood flow in the area by helping to build a capillary network. Most types of therapy compress the skin and body and cupping distracts the skin to help lift and release the fascia underneath. Cupping can be by placing them directly on the skin and letting them sit for a specific amount of time or can be used by moving them around the skin through a series of exercises known as “Massage Cupping.” Massage cupping can sometimes be a better benefit for certain patients in pain management rather than compression.
