NAALDE!? Ja, ek doen naalde!! Dis n wonderlike tool in n fisio se mandjie om te gebruik!
How does dry needling work?
When your muscle is overused, it goes into an energy crisis where the muscle fibers aren't getting an adequate blood supply. When they don't get the normal blood supply, they don't get the oxygen and nutrients that allow your muscle to go back to its normal resting state.
When this happens, the tissue near your trigger point becomes more acidic. Your nerves are sensitized, which makes the area sore and painful.
Stimulating a trigger point with a needle helps draw normal blood supply back to flush out the area and release tension. The prick sensation can also fire off nerve fibres that stimulate your brain to release endorphins(feel-good hormones), your body's homemade pain medication.
Once your physiotherapist locates a trigger point, they'll insert a needle through your skin directly into it. They might move the needle around a little to try to get what's called a twitch response - a quick spasm of your muscle.This reaction can be a good sign that your muscle is reacting.
Some people feel improvement in their pain and mobility almost immediately after a dry needling session. For others, it takes more than one session.

Komplikasies?
Daar mag moontlike kneusing voorkom waar die naald gebruik is, soos met n gewone inspuiting. Sommige mense kan bietjie duiseligheid, sweterigheid of koue ervaar. Indien jy oor die borskas area behandel word is daar n addisionele risiko vir die longe. Indien die long geprik word kan jy n toestand genaamd Pneumotoraks (lug in die longspasie) ontwikkel. Dit is baie raar, maar indien so iets gebeur moet jy by jou naaste hospitaal aanmeld. Simptome sluit in skerp pyn met inaseming en benoudheid. Behandeling is egter baie suksesvol by so n moontlike komplikasie.
