| Abstract | Dry needling technique is a modern Western medical modality that is not related to Traditional Chinese acupuncture in any way. Dry Needling was first developed in 1940's by Janet Travell, MD, former medical adviser to White House (JFK's physician). Thus, dry needling a.k.a biomedical acupuncture is based on modern understanding of human anatomy and patho-physiology and on modern SCientific research, drawing heavily on leading-edge neurological research using modern imaging techniques such as Functional MRls of the brain. Different terminology for dry needling technique have been created; for example trigger point needling, dry needling technique, intra muscular stimulation (IMS) and biomedical acupuncture are all in use. It is important to remember that physical therapists who are increasingly using dry needling-particularly for pain management and trauma rehabilitation : • do not claim to practice acupuncture, • do not use acupuncture TCM theories, meridian acupoints and terminology, • do not use acupuncture diagnosis like tongue and pulse, • do not use acupuncture needling techniques. Practice dry needling by physical therapists is a worldwide trend; dry needling presently is used in the USA (11 states), and many other countries. Please, note: Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCM-style acupuncture) is based on ancient Chinese concepts of meridian systems, such as Qi or energy channels, using tongue and pulse assessment, and uses a variety of needle manipulation techniques. TCM Acupuncture does not share any medical ground with Dry Needling Techniques. It is pointless to compare hours of training for TCM acupuncturists and medically trained physical therapists. Definitely physical therapists will have more oranges and TCM acupuncturists will have more apples. Systemic Integrative Dry Needling. • SIDN represent effective techniques for resolving soft tissue dysfunction: inflammation, contracture, tissue adheSion, microcirculation and edema, and biomechanical balance of musculoskeletal system • Our approach is both systemic and analytical. We emphasize both local anatomy and systemic functional effects. We treat both local injuries and assure physiological and mechanical balance of the whole system-human body • SystemiC Integrative Dry Needling techniques allow practitioner to predict the prognosis of the treatments such as how many treatments the patients will need and how long the symptom relief can be achieved. Dr. Ma's 40-year background in clinical and Western (biomedical, no meridians, no classic acupoints) Dry Needling acupuncture and neuroscience research has enabled him to address specifically neuro-immunological and neuro-muscular mechanisms of Systemic Integrated Dry Needling and created SIDN. In addition to rehabilitation after trauma/injuries or … |
