STOP THE PAIN NOW! Deep Dry Needling (DDN) is NOT acupuncture. It's more effective than acupuncture for pain relief. DDN is Muscle Therapy and it's the best muscle therapy for stubborn problems. Some people have called it "Absolute Magic"! |
DDN is permanent pain relief.
With chronic pain you go for massage or other treatments and you end up going every week or even 2-3 times a week because the pain just keeps coming back. Generally, after the pain is gone with DDN it doesn't come back. It's gone, generally, forever. At the least you should get years of relief. Isn't that great? |
DDN developed back from the early 1800's when english medical doctors brought back traditional chinese medical tools from their adventures abroad. The concept of chi didn't agree with their western, scientific minds but they couldn't deny that there were parts of acupuncture that worked.
Today we know how DDN relieves pain and it's proved itself scientifically. |

FIX THE PROBLEM
FIX THE PAIN |
If you understand your problem
then you can understand what it takes to stop the pain. In many cases, the problem is damage to the muscles. Damage has many causes, big and small. The end result is pain. DDN reaches right into the problem and removes it and starts the body healing. If you're tired of being in pain, DDN is exactly what you've been looking for. |
IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR KEEP READING. THERE IS A LOT MORE INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. How it actually works is found at the very bottom. |

How DDN works will depend on who you talk to. The experts in the field don't agree. I'll try and explain the top theories because I know people want an answer. The important things to remember, however, are that it works, it's safe and the results are long lasting.For 99.9 % of the people, this is going to be as much or more than they want to know. For those of you who need to know more, read: Gunn Approach to the Treatment of Chronic Pain by C. Chan Gunn |

There are all kinds of funny devices to help you with your trigger points and all kinds of expensive massage and electric machines but in the end the relief is temporary and the cost is high. They don't fix the problem. DDN fixes the problem. DDN is gaining in popularity in the West. We are amongst the first to bring it to you in Malaysia. |

1. Something causes pain. If it happens often enough or if the trauma is great enough, the pain signal may return through the Sympathetic Ganglion and activate Primary Afferent Nocioceptors (H) which will feedback to the spinal cord. This will cause pain to continue instead of fade. It's called a Reflex Arc.
In this situation the original pain causes a self-sustaining cycle of pain. For more information see Pain by Howard Fields, McGraw Hill 1987 |
How Does A Needle Stop All This?
1. Putting a needle into a spasmed muscle causes the muscle to relax. This can can be seen with an electromyogram. Activity in a spasmed muscle reduces in amplitude and becomes regular instead of sporadic. 2. Because of a new stimulus of greater amplitude, the reflex arc is broken. In Gunn Approach to the Treatment of Chronic Pain by C. Chan Gunn, this is covered in detail as is the damage done to nerves by the reflex arc. Remember also, damage takes time to heal. |

2. At the same time motor neurons may become stuck in a feedback / reflex arc, keeping muscles in spasm. In some cases the reflex arc continues for years, even decades.
3.Over time the contracted muscle degenerates and creates areas of internal damage called Trigger Points. Trigger Points are the lumps / knots you can feel in muscles. These areas contain metabolites that keep the muscle fibers taught and painful. Over time muscle dies off to be replaced with scar fiber but the pain remains. |
3. A spasmed muscle becomes a damaged muscle. Spasm reduces blood flow in the muscle. This means less oxygen and food to the muscle. Muscle fibers die off and get replaced by fibrous / scar tissue. This, in turn, holds the muscle tight, prevents muscle metabolites from leaving the muscle and causes continued spasm and pain.
The insertion of the needle separates the fibers, allowing blood flow to return and it breaks up fibrotic accumulations. This allows the muscle to heal. |

What we are looking at here is a disc between bones in your spine.
When muscles become contracted it causes the bones to pull together and: A. The disc gets compressed. This causes the disc to bulge and degenerate. This prevents the disc from healing. B. The facet joint in back gets compressed causing arthritis and facet syndrome. |

 |
This is the front to back view of the same thing.
Spasmed muscles cause the disc to bulge and press on the sensory nerve giving you low back pain and possibly pain down the legs. Continued pressure on the sensory nerve will cause irratation to the motor nerve continuing the spasm as explained with the reflex arc. |
