Seirin B Type Dry Needling (100)

Seirin B-Type Dry Needling

“Dry needling“ represents the introduction of a “dry“ needle into the affected muscle or muscles involved. With “dry“ is merely meant the introduction of the needle without any addition of drugs.“Dry needling“ is based on anatomical and neurophysiological principles and does not belong to the traditional acupuncture treatment. Therefore, no medication is used while introducing the needle, instead it is just the “trigger point“ that gets treated directly.

A “trigger point“ is a result of a taut band that is formed in the muscle. The “trigger point“ is the most painfull spot in this taut band. This leads to a reduced function of the muscles and to sudden muscle spasm. In addition to pain, it may also e.g. lead to a reduced contractility of the muscle. This spasm disappears when the muscle fibers start to contract. This contraction can be caused by introducing the “Seirin“ needle directly into the “trigger point“. This leads to a direct relaxation of the muscle. Through muscle metabolism a pain is caused by the disappearance of the “trigger point“.

Diseases that can be treated sucesfully through the use of “dry needling“:

“Trigger points“ are a source of pain in the joints, that are often mistaken with arthritis, tenon or bursa in flammation or an injury to the ligaments. They are almost always connected to diseases like fybromyalgia and can also cause long-term symptoms and problems such as a hernia inguinalis or a so called “frozen shoulder“. “Trigger points“ can cause in addition to headache, joint and muscle pain also less obvious problems, such as dizziness/dumbness, ear pain/ringing in the ears, sinusiti, nausea, heartburn, heart rythm- disorder, tingling and fatique.
