When we experience severe pain, the first thing that comes to our mind is to drink painkillers. But there is in the arsenal of doctors there is a method of relief of acute pain, which does not use drugs, although it was discovered during their use.
HISTORY OF THE METHOD
It is concluded that the effect of acupuncture by the method
of "dry needles" was discovered at the end of the last century and in
a somewhat unexpected way: when a needle was inserted for anesthesia, it was
noticed that a positive effect occurs even before the introduction of the
anesthetic. The experimenters tried to give up drug therapy altogether and inject
the needle into the sore spot. It turned out that it works!
WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE
AND DRY NEEDLE PAIN TREATMENT?
The Acupuncture Doctors Delhi explained it this way: when a needle destroys
a muscle fiber at the injection site, a substance that has an analgesic effect
is released. And if the needle is inserted directly into the sore point, the
so-called trigger, then the muscle fiber is overexcited with its subsequent
relaxation. By the way, this is why an indicator of a correctly inserted needle
is often the initial convulsive response of overstressed muscle fibers.
MYOFASCIAL PAIN
SYNDROME.
Acupuncture by the method of "dry needles" began
to be actively used, and it soon became clear that not every pain could be
removed this way, but only that which occurs in myofascial syndromes. This
condition occurs during chronic muscle overload. But it can occur in any
person, and because of everyday and routine things: because of the usual
irregular posture (which, in particular, is a long sitting at a desk, at a computer,
driving) or because, for example, a person is used to carrying a heavy bag on
only one shoulder.
CAUSES OF PAIN
In myofascial syndrome, a painful shortened part of the
muscle arises in the form of a round or spindle seal, which, in turn, pulls and
strains all the other muscle fibers and creates pain impulses. This is the
trigger (pain point) where the needle is inserted.
At first, standard injection needles were used in Acupuncture Delhi (thanks
to this, the method got its unusual name). Over time, ordinary needles were
replaced with acupuncture needles, which almost did not hurt the soft tissues
due to their tip shape and needle diameter, but the effect of relaxing the
trigger from them is the same. But, despite borrowing a tool, acupuncture itself
according to the dry needles method is not related to classical acupuncture. He
has an entirely different theoretical base, it is based on neurophysiology,
while the technique of reflexology works according to the canons of traditional
Chinese medicine.
