Trigger point acupuncture
Trigger Points are painful points, knots, located in the muscles. They cause pain during movement or even at rest. The treatment of these points consists of relaxing and softening the muscles and making these painful areas disappear. This technique is done by inserting sterile, single-use acupuncture needles. We thus try to reduce the painful point of the muscle so that it can relax, blood circulation can resume and to restore function.
A healthy muscle will not react the same way when the needle is inserted; there will be no associated discomfort. On the other hand, if the muscle is tense and irritated, the treatment will produce a sensation of cramp and slightly unpleasant muscle twisting.
There is often a protective reflex of muscle contraction around an injured region. This contraction often hinders the treatment of the underlying injury. The therapist will not be able to mobilize stiff joints due to muscular tension. In this case, trigger point redirection will be a treatment of choice to release muscle tension and allow effective treatment of injured joints.
