What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a treatment method in which I insert a very fine, sterile needle into a tense muscle or a so-called trigger point. These are areas within a muscle that can be sensitive and may cause pain or restricted movement.
With this treatment, I focus on reducing muscle tension. I also aim to promote muscle relaxation and improve freedom of movement. This may help reduce pain.
With acupuncture, I work according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling, on the other hand, focuses specifically on muscles and trigger points.
In my practice, I combine the benefits of acupuncture and dry needling. This allows me to tailor the treatment as closely as possible to your symptoms. Dry needling focuses specifically on tense muscles and trigger points, while with acupuncture I look at the body as a whole from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Both treatment methods complement each other. This allows me to work in a targeted way to reduce pain, relax muscles and improve your freedom of movement.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment method that originates from traditional Chinese medicine. During a treatment, I insert very fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points in the skin. This stimulates the body to support its natural healing processes and promote balance.
Acupuncture has a history spanning thousands of years in countries such as China, Japan and Korea. More and more people in Europe are also discovering this treatment method. However, some people still find acupuncture difficult to understand or consider it something rather unconventional. There is no need to see it that way: acupuncture is part of an ancient medical tradition with its own perspective on health and well-being.
Traditional Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach to the human body. It considers the body and mind as an interconnected whole. According to this approach, health complaints can partly be related to an imbalance in the body. Through acupuncture, I aim to support this balance and promote well-being.
Depending on the complaint and your personal circumstances, acupuncture can complement conventional medical care. That is why acupuncture is often described today as a complementary treatment. This means that it can be used alongside conventional medicine.
What Does Acupuncture Do?
In my practice, I use classical acupuncture, based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.
According to this approach, a network of energy pathways runs throughout the body. These pathways are called meridians. Within traditional Chinese medicine, the flow of energy through these meridians plays an important role in understanding health and health complaints. When this energy flow becomes disrupted, it may contribute to physical or other complaints according to this traditional approach.
I insert very fine, sterile needles into carefully selected acupuncture points to stimulate the body. My aim is to support balance and promote the body’s natural ability to recover.
Every person and every complaint is different. That is why I tailor each treatment to your personal circumstances, symptoms and individual needs.
