I have treated professional musicians (orchestral) and dry-needling is the ONLY treatment that has worked for them! Great job! Nice to see some good vids...
I have severe myofascial pain syndrome and can definitely say that needling, whether dry with acupuncture needles, or using hypos with lidocaine, is BY FAR, the least painful and most effective treatment for TrPs that I have found in the 50 years I've had this curse.
dry needling involves massaging the trigger points in muscles more specifically. Acupuncture attacks problems along the various meridians. PTs know muscles and it is definitely within their scope of practice.
This is a very important treatment. At least the PTs get training, unlike most MDs that do TrP injection with no trigger point training at all. You are better off with a PT, they actually might know how to find a trigger point to treat. You can also find a manual therapist (no needles) at myofascialtherapydotorg
@monkeybliss77 it's not out of their scope of practice. The physio I work with has spent over 10 years in in masters and post grad programs and I'm sure it's not a problem if he does IMS.It's what they do, at least in my country they do.
