Dry needling is sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS). Acupuncture is a broad category of needling practices with solid filiform needles. Modern acupuncture notably includes both traditional and Western medical acupuncture; dry needling is arguably one subcategory of western medical acupuncture.<\/p><\/div><div id=\"u15454\" class=\"museBGSize grpelem\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><div id=\"u15492-8\" class=\"clearfix colelem\" data-muse-uid=\"U15492\" data-muse-type=\"txt_frame\" data-ibe-flags=\"txtStyleSrc\"><p>Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture relies on careful palpation of what are called &#8220;Ah Shi&#8221; points, which often correspond to both trigger points and\/or motor points in the myofascial tissue. Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture tends to use lower gauge (thicker) needles necessary for puncturing contraction knots with a high degree of precision. On the other hand, lighter styles of acupuncture, such as Japanese style, and many American styles, may tend towards very shallow insertions of higher gauge (thinner) needles. Most acupuncture styles, especially those with lighter techniques, require a detailed knowledge, not only of anatomy but also of the channel networks and connections. Thus, while some forms of acupuncture are not at all the same as dry needling, the term dry needling can refer quite specifically to what is now called Myofascial Acupuncture, Tendinomuscular Acupuncture, or some version of Sports Acupuncture.<\/p><p id=\"u15492-5\">-Wikipedia<\/p><\/div><div id=\"u15506-18\" class=\"clearfix colelem\" data-muse-uid=\"U15506\" data-muse-type=\"txt_frame\" data-ibe-flags=\"txtStyleSrc\"><p>Uses<\/p><ul id=\"u15506-14\" class=\"list0 nls-None\"><li><span id=\"u15506-4\">Muscular pain<\/span><\/li><li><span id=\"u15506-6\">Chronic\/Severe Back and Neck Pain<\/span><\/li><li><span id=\"u15506-8\">RSI (Computer use,\u00a0 Prolonged sitting job)<\/span><\/li><li><span id=\"u15506-10\">Sport injuries<\/span><\/li><li><span id=\"u15506-12\">Join Pain<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4363\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4363\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed fa fa-caret-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fa fa-caret-up\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4363\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4363\"><figure id=\"attachment_170\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-170\" style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-170\" src=\"http:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-closeup-of-therapist-placing-electrodes-on-woman-s-back-417136474.jpg\" alt=\"TENS\" width=\"269\" height=\"177\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-170\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TENS<\/figcaption><\/figure><div id=\"u15468-17\" class=\"clearfix colelem\" data-muse-uid=\"U15468\" data-muse-type=\"txt_frame\" data-ibe-flags=\"txtStyleSrc\"><p id=\"u15468-3\"><span id=\"u15468\">Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS)<\/span>\u00a0is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.

EMS has received an increasing amount of attention in the last few years for many reasons: it can be utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes; it could be used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for partially or totally immobilized patients; it could be utilized as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and\/or muscular function in vivo; it could be used as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes. The impulses are generated by a device and are delivered through electrodes on the skin near to the muscles being stimulated. The electrodes are generally pads that adhere to the skin. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. The use of EMS has been cited by sports scientists as a complementary technique for sports training, and published research is available on the results obtained. In the United States, EMS devices are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p><p>Use<\/p><p>In medicine, EMS is used for rehabilitation purposes, for instance in physical therapy in the prevention of disuse muscle atrophy which can occur for example after musculoskeletal injuries, such as damage to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Ultrasound is applied using a round-headed wand or probe that is put in direct contact with the patient\u2019s skin. Ultrasound gel is used on all surfaces of the head in order to reduce friction and assist in the transmission of the ultrasonic waves.

It has been shown to cause increases in tissue relaxation, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. The effect of the increase in local blood flow can be used to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation, and, according to some studies, promote bone fracture healing. The intensity or power density of the ultrasound can be adjusted depending on the desired effect. A greater power density (measured in watt\/cm2 is often used in cases where scar tissue breakdown is the goal.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; max-height: 1e+06px; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; border: 0px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/p><p id=\"u15530-9\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; max-height: 1e+06px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Uses<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; max-height: 1e+06px; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; border: 0px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/p><ul id=\"u15530-25\" class=\"list0 nls-None\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 34px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; max-height: 1e+06px; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; border: 0px solid transparent;\"><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Accelerate tissue healing<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Tennis elbow<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">PA Shoulder<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Muscle injuries<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Pain relief<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Arthritis<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transform-origin: left top 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; list-style: none; position: relative; border: 0px solid transparent;\">Plantar fascitis<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-43610\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-43610\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed fa fa-caret-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fa fa-caret-up\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">Heat therapy (IR)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-43610\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-43610\"><figure id=\"attachment_176\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-176\" src=\"http:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-medicinal-red-light-lamp-radiating-at-a-womans-feet-dark-colours-185100140-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Infra red heat therapy\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Infra red heat therapy<\/figcaption><\/figure><p id=\"u15533-3\"><span id=\"u15533\">Heat therapy,<\/span>\u00a0also called thermotherapy, is the use of heat in therapy, such as for pain relief and health.

The increased blood flow to the affected area provides proteins, nutrients, and oxygen for better healing.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p id=\"u15533-9\">Uses<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul id=\"u15533-21\" class=\"list0 nls-None\"><li id=\"u15533-12\">Muscular pain<\/li><li id=\"u15533-14\">Chronic\/Severe Back and Neck Pain<\/li><li id=\"u15533-16\">RSI (Computer use,\u00a0 Prolonged sitting job)<\/li><li id=\"u15533-18\">Sport injuries<\/li><li id=\"u15533-20\">Join Pain<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-43611\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"11\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-43611\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed fa fa-caret-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fa fa-caret-up\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">Cupping therapy <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-43611\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"11\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-43611\"><figure id=\"attachment_177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-177\" src=\"http:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-close-up-of-a-therapist-giving-cupping-therapy-to-man-in-spa-519787906-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Cupping therapy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-close-up-of-a-therapist-giving-cupping-therapy-to-man-in-spa-519787906-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-close-up-of-a-therapist-giving-cupping-therapy-to-man-in-spa-519787906-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/stock-photo-close-up-of-a-therapist-giving-cupping-therapy-to-man-in-spa-519787906.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cupping therapy<\/figcaption><\/figure><p id=\"u15536-3\"><span id=\"u15536\">Cupping therapy<\/span>\u00a0is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction.\u00a0 it has many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.<\/p><p id=\"u15536-4\">\u00a0<\/p><p id=\"u15536-6\">\u00a0It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures.

For certain conditions and diagnoses, a well-trained physical therapist will develop a customized exercise program based on research of the most effective spine exercises.

A physical therapist will instruct a patient on the proper technique for performing each exercise in the individualized exercise program. Physical therapists strive to continually improve their exercise techniques, learning new ones as they come out, and scrutinizing new fads. The therapist will also cover posture and movement exercises, suggesting improvements for the patient that will provide added protection for the spine.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-43613\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-43613\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed fa fa-caret-right\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fa fa-caret-up\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\">Spinal manipulation<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-43613\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-43613\"><figure id=\"attachment_179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-179\" src=\"http:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/spinal-manipulation-300x109.jpg\" alt=\"Physiotherapist performing spinal manipulation\" width=\"300\" height=\"109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/spinal-manipulation-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/spinal-manipulation-768x280.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thepainfreephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/spinal-manipulation.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Physiotherapist performing spinal manipulation<\/figcaption><\/figure><p id=\"u15634-2\">As a treatment, manipulation attempts to improve joint range of motion and balance tissue and muscle mechanics in order to relieve pain.<\/p><p id=\"u15634-3\">\u00a0<\/p><p id=\"u15634-5\">Manipulation Techniques by a Physiotherapist<\/p><p id=\"u15634-7\">There are numerous manipulation techniques a Physiotherapist may use.
