Acupuncture and Dry-needling Therapy in Calgary, AB

Acupuncture and dry-needling (also sometimes called intramuscular stimulation or IMS) of muscle trigger points are particularly effective techniques for the treatment of chronic pain and muscle tightness.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves gently inserting very fine needles into specific points along the body to help regulate balance and energy flow. But there’s more to it than just energy. Modern research shows that these points also stimulate the nervous system, prompting it to release natural chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can reduce the sensation of pain and encourage the release of hormones that support the body’s ability to heal and self-regulate.

Dry-needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique that targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. It involves inserting thin, acupuncture needles into trigger points, or knots, within the muscles. These trigger points are the reason for your pain, restricted movement, and other dysfunctions. By targeting these specific areas, dry-needling helps to reduce pain and restore normal muscle function.
