Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy

by | Jun 5, 2022 | Acupuncture Columbus

Microcurrent Therapy

For many people, microcurrent therapy is one of the most useful non-surgical methodologies to make their faces young. The treatment is believed to produce dramatic outcomes. The therapy is incredibly relaxing, and many clients go off to sleep while undergoing the treatment.

The therapy has a natural effect as it clones the electric current in the body, which is accountable for the involuntary muscles, such as heartbeat, breathing, etc. Human bodies are not averse to this therapy as it is familiar with the process. The result of this therapy is smoothing and immediate tightening of the skin. The skin is also rehydrated and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

It sculpts, tightens, and lifts the facial skin, and you can see instant results with no downtime. The therapy thus lifts sagging muscles and smooths wrinkles on your face. It is also effective in reducing acne problems and is similar to yoga for the face.

Does everyone feel the same way after undergoing the therapy?

Not everyone is the same. While some people may feel nothing, others may experience a tingling sensation. Many feel a lot of circulation or warmth on their faces and feel sleepy and relaxed afterward. They simply enjoy this power nap while undergoing the therapy.

Health Benefits of Dry Needling

by | Jun 1, 2022 | Acupuncture

Dry Needling

Trigger points or knotted muscles may lead to constant pain. Not only this, if you touch a trigger point, it leads to pain in other areas of the body. Till the time such trigger points exist, these keep activating your nerves, which, in turn, transmit pain messages to the brain. The ongoing stimulation makes your nerve again more sensitive leading to more pains on trigger points.

If you want to come out of the cycle of pain on the trigger points, you may opt for a therapy called dry needling. Continue reading this article to know more about trigger points and the advantages of dry needling.

Basics of trigger points

A trigger point happens to be a tiny area of knotted muscle fibers. Such knots form if the muscle contracts but does not relax afterward. Not only does a trigger point creates a hard, painful knot, but the ongoing contraction of the muscle also pinches a person’s blood vessels and nerves. Let us now see the causes of a trigger point. The knots frequently form because of any of the following reasons:

  • Chronic stress
  • Tense muscles
  • Poor posture
  • Direct injury
  • Lifting heavy objects or weights
  • Repetitive movements of muscles

Merits of dry needling

  1. Speed up your recovery

You could have had surgery or succumbed to an injury. Moving the body is a highly recommended means to foster healing and accelerate your recovery process. The primary treatment for recovery in such scenarios is physical therapy. At the same time, including dry needling in your physical therapy sessions speeds up the recovery process.

  1. Get fast relief from your pain

Many people relate a trigger point with a knotted muscle in their upper back, neck, and shoulder. However, a similar problem may pop up in other parts of your body too. As soon as there is relaxation in the knot and improvement in blood flow, the pain reduces. Several patients claim that they have experienced an improvement in their pain after just one session of dry needling. However, some people have also insisted that they had to go through multiple sessions to get the same benefit.
