2. Reducing inflammation and accelerating the healing of damaged tissues

Shoulder pain may be due to soft tissue injuries such as inflammation of tendons or muscles. Dry needling can:

• Reduce the inflammatory process
• Accelerate tissue regeneration and repair

These features make this method a suitable option for treating pain caused by inflammation and sports injuries.

3. Improving mobility and muscle function

In cases such as frozen shoulder syndrome, which causes muscle stiffness or adhesion, dry needling plays an effective role in increasing mobility. Using this method:

• Muscles and soft tissues relax
• The range of motion of the shoulder increases
• Muscle flexibility is strengthened

This is especially useful for patients who have mobility limitations.

4. Relief of chronic and acute shoulder pain

• Inhibition of pain signals
• Stimulating the release of endorphins (the body's natural pain reliever)

This method is very efficient for managing pain caused by sports injuries or chronic problems.

5. Improving muscle balance in the shoulder

Disturbances in muscle balance around the shoulder may cause pain and reduced performance. Dry needling plays an effective role in improving muscle balance by regulating abnormal tensions in muscles and strengthening the function of weak muscles. This helps prevent further damage.

Precautions and recommendations for using dry needling

Detailed evaluation by an expert

It is necessary to correctly diagnose the cause of shoulder pain and determine the appropriate treatment method by a physiotherapist. Without careful examination, this method may not be effective.

Therapist expertise

Dry needling should be performed by a trained physical therapist or specialist. Choosing the right time and method of this treatment requires specialized knowledge.

Aftercare

The shoulder may be a little sore after dry needling. This pain is usually mild and resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

Dry needling as a complementary treatment

Dry needling is usually used along with other physiotherapy methods such as therapeutic exercises, massage, laser therapy, manual therapy and ultrasound therapy. This combination can be:

• reducing shoulder pains
• Improving movement limitations
• Increasing the quality of life of patients

Help.
