Our client, Patricia Boulet of Boulet Physical Therapy and Wellness Institute, is becoming certified in Dry
Needling!
Once certified, Patricia will be able to offer relief to patients suffering from pain caused by Headaches, Neck/Back pain, Tendinitis, Muscle
Spasms, Hip/Knee pain, Muscle strains, Fibromyalgia, Golfer’s Elbow, and other
injuries.
Dry Needling is a technique unequaled in finding and
eliminating neuromuscular dysfunction. It involves a series of needle advances
to the different trigger points in the muscles.
Most patients who receive Dry Needling do not report having
pain. Sometimes, patients will feel a muscle “twitch” similar to a tingling
sensation. This “twitch” is a sign that the needle is releasing the trigger
point.
Many people compare Dry Needling to Acupuncture when in
fact, the two techniques are much different. Dry Needling is based on western
neuroanatomy and modern scientific studies. Acupuncture is based on theories of
ancient Chinese medicine. The two techniques do, however, use the same tool; a
solid needle filament.
