Electro-muscular dry needling (EMDN) or electro dry needling follows the same principle as dry needling but uses electrotherapy stimulation.
This addition of electrotherapy is beneficial in a lot of ways. It can reach deep within the targeted muscle tissues, increase and decrease the pressure through the ability to control the frequency of the needles, and ensure consistency while also determining areas of improvement by having an instrument that dispenses the same frequency at different levels.
Due to these specific features, we are better able to utilize the technique for more complex medications and more varied types of pain, something that is hugely advantageous as a provider of physiotherapy here at Outcomes Therapy.
Among these many forms of medical conditions and pain include but are not limited to the following:
- Musculoskeletal Pain
This type of pain affects bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or muscles, resulting in strains, spasms, cramps, and many more. Alongside electro dry needling, undergoing speech therapy is also a good idea to address the physical-facing aspects of the condition. - Nerve Damage
Also known as peripheral neuropathy, this refers to any condition that affects automatic nerves, motor nerves, and sensory nerves, including radiculopathy and post-operative pain, and seriously affects the quality of your life. - Tendinopathies and Joint Pathologies
These are joint disorders and tendon conditions that cause pain and swelling, including arthritis, sprains, disc pathologies, joint restriction, and more. Depending on the severity of your condition, undergoing occupational therapy can significantly hasten your progress.
