Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling (USGDN) is a specific treatment for myofascial pain syndromes (MPS) wherein a needle is inserted into painful sites in the muscle called myofascial trigger point (MTrP). MTrP is defined as ‘a hyperirritable spot,’ within a painful taut band (TB) in a skeletal muscle. So, in any pain condition multiple fine needles (37 Gauge) are inserted into all the painful areas while visualising the needle under sonography and looking at the muscle architecture, thickness and reaction to needle insertion.
Our clinic has established itself as a center for the Best Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling in Mumbai, with years of expertise in treating complex pain conditions.
MTrPs exhibit a unique local twitch response (LTR) or a “jump” on needle insertion mediated by a spinal reflex. LTR can be visualized with ultrasound. Active MTrPs are spontaneously painful, refer pain and paresthesia to distal sites. Latent MTrPs are painful only on palpation. Both active and latent MTrPs cause muscle stiffness, weakness and restricted range of motion (ROM). USGDN causes immediate, complete pain relief by a physical ‘needle effect’ without any injection. USGDN also causes micro bleeding in the affected muscles. This brings in lot of growth factors to that muscle and causes regeneration and healing.
Looking for specialized Growth Factor Injections in Mumbai to complement your USGDN treatment and accelerate healing? Our comprehensive treatment approach combines both therapies for optimal results.
Ultrasound visualization revolutionizes Dry Needling into a more extensive as well as comprehensive version called USGDN which addresses the interrelated functioning of the various structures in the body that work as parts of the whole and when one part suffers it appears to involve all the others. USGDN targets not only the pain but also the disability resulting from the structural impairment that mechanically alter the function in all coworking muscles. This makes USGDN a specific treatment option for all chronic pains like neuropathic pains, cancer pains, back pains and arthritic pains all of which manifest with MPS.
