Wet Needling Therapy Dhaka | Trigger Point Injections for Muscle Pain - AdvanCell

Wet Needling Therapy in Dhaka: Targeted Relief for Stubborn Muscle Pain

Are you experiencing persistent, localized muscle pain, stiffness, or tenderness that radiates to other areas? Do you feel "knots" in your muscles that don't seem to release despite massage or stretching? These could be myofascial trigger points – hyperirritable spots in your muscle tissue that are a common source of chronic discomfort. When these stubborn muscle knots interfere with your daily life, conventional treatments may not be enough.

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we offer Wet Needling therapy, a highly effective and precise approach to deactivating these pain-generating trigger points. Administered by our qualified medical doctors, Wet Needling involves the targeted injection of a therapeutic substance directly into the problematic muscle knot, providing rapid relief and facilitating a faster return to comfortable movement.

What is Wet Needling and How Does It Work?

Wet Needling, often referred to as Trigger Point Injection (TPI) therapy, is a medical procedure used to treat myofascial pain caused by tight bands of muscle, known as trigger points.

Understanding Trigger Points: Imagine a small, tight "knot" in your muscle that's tender to the touch. This is a trigger point. These points can cause pain locally (at the knot itself) or refer pain to other, sometimes distant, parts of your body. For example, a trigger point in your shoulder might cause a headache, or one in your gluteal muscle might mimic sciatica. They can limit your range of motion and lead to muscle weakness.

The Wet Needling Process: During a Wet Needling session, our physician will carefully palpate to locate the active trigger point. Once identified, a fine needle is used to inject a small amount of solution directly into the trigger point. This solution typically contains:

• Local Anesthetic (e.g., Lidocaine): This quickly numbs the area, providing immediate pain relief and helping to break the pain-spasm cycle.

• Sometimes Saline or a Corticosteroid: Depending on the specific condition and physician's assessment, saline or a low dose of corticosteroid may be used to help "flush out" the trigger point or reduce localized inflammation.

The injection helps to:

• Deactivate the Trigger Point: By breaking up the muscle fibers in spasm and disrupting the nerve signals.

• Reduce Pain: Through the action of the local anesthetic and the deactivation of the trigger point.

• Restore Blood Flow: Improved circulation to the affected muscle tissue promotes healing.

• Improve Muscle Relaxation: Releasing the tension in the taut muscle band.

Wet Needling vs. Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture:

• Wet Needling (Trigger Point Injection): Performed by a medical doctor, it involves injecting a substance into the trigger point to deactivate it. It's based on Western medicine's understanding of anatomy and neurophysiology.

• Dry Needling: Performed by trained physiotherapists or chiropractors, it involves inserting a thin, sterile needle (without injecting any substance) directly into the trigger point to elicit a "local twitch response," which helps to release the knot. It's also based on Western anatomical and physiological principles.

• Acupuncture: Originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves inserting needles into specific points along "meridians" to balance the body's energy flow (Qi). It has a different philosophical and scientific basis than Wet or Dry Needling.

Who Benefits from Wet Needling Therapy? Do You Need Help?

Wet Needling is a highly effective treatment option for individuals suffering from pain primarily driven by myofascial trigger points and muscle tension. You could benefit if you experience:

• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Chronic regional muscle pain with identified trigger points.

• Neck Pain & Headaches: Especially tension headaches and cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches.

• Upper & Lower Back Pain: Often due to muscle strain, spasms, or postural issues.

• Shoulder Pain: Related to muscle knots in the upper trapezius, rhomboids, or rotator cuff muscles.

• Fibromyalgia: For specific, highly tender myofascial trigger points.

• Muscle Spasms & Chronic Muscle Tension: Anywhere in the body.

• Certain Orthopedic Conditions: Where muscle tension contributes to joint pain (e.g., knee pain, hip pain).

• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Contributing to localized muscle pain.

• Post-Injury Muscle Guarding: After a sprain or strain.

How We Help: Our Wet Needling Therapy Process

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Your journey begins with a detailed medical history and a thorough physical examination by our physician. They will identify the specific muscles and trigger points contributing to your pain and determine if Wet Needling is the most appropriate treatment for your condition.

2. Procedure Explanation & Consent: Before the procedure, our team will fully explain the process, potential sensations, and answer any questions you may have. Your informed consent is always obtained.

3. The Wet Needling Session:

• The skin over the target muscle will be cleaned.

• The physician will precisely palpate and locate the trigger point.

• A fine, sterile needle containing the chosen solution (typically local anesthetic) is carefully inserted into the trigger point. You may feel a brief sting, pressure, or a localized twitch in the muscle, which is a common and desired response indicating the trigger point has been engaged.

• The solution is injected, and the needle is then withdrawn.

4. Post-Procedure Care:

• You may experience some mild soreness or a dull ache at the injection site for 24-48 hours, similar to post-workout muscle soreness.

• Immediate pain relief is often felt due to the anesthetic.

• We will provide specific aftercare instructions and discuss follow-up sessions.

5. Integration with Rehabilitation: For optimal and lasting results, Wet Needling is typically integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that may include:

• Physiotherapy: Stretching, strengthening exercises, and manual therapy to address underlying muscle imbalances, improve posture, and restore full function.

• Ergonomic & Lifestyle Counseling: Advice on how to modify activities and environments to prevent future trigger point formation.

Benefits of Wet Needling Therapy:

• Rapid Pain Relief: Often provides immediate or significant pain reduction.

• Reduced Muscle Tension & Spasms: Releases tight muscle bands and alleviates involuntary contractions.

• Improved Range of Motion & Flexibility: Allows muscles to lengthen and joints to move more freely.

• Targeted Treatment: Directly addresses the source of localized muscle pain.

• Non-Surgical Approach: Offers an effective alternative to more invasive procedures for muscle-related pain.

• Reduced Reliance on Oral Pain Medication: Provides direct pain relief, potentially lessening the need for systemic drugs.

• Facilitates Rehabilitation: By reducing pain and improving muscle function, it makes subsequent physiotherapy exercises more effective.

• Long-Lasting Results: Especially when combined with a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
