Best Halifax Shockwave Therapy

Dry Needling Therapy

Dry Needling Therapy is performed by trained therapists at Coastal Sports and Wellness. It is carried out to treat musculoskeletal pain and movement issues. Conditions commonly treated by dry needling include tension or cervicogenic headaches, neck or back pain, sports injuries, muscle strains, shoulder pain, patellofemoral pain, plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and myofascial pain syndrome.
The therapy involves inserting thin, solid filiform needles directly into the trigger points. Trigger points refer to taut bands of muscle tissues, or areas of muscle spasm. Trigger points are identified by the therapist by palpation. Multiple trigger points can be treated in a single session. Needles used for the therapy are always sterile.
Dry needling works by eliciting a muscle twitch, which releases the knot, improves blood flow, and reduces muscle tension. It also reduces inflammation and improves local circulation. Furthermore, the therapy influences pain pathways by stimulating sensory nerves and promoting the release of pain-killing endorphins.

Shockwave Therapy

Coastal Sports and Wellness provides Best Halifax Shockwave Therapy to stimulate healing in injured ligaments, tendons, joints, bones, and muscles. It can be used to treat a number of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, achilles tendinopathy, calcific shoulder tendinitis, non-healing fractures, myofascial trigger points, jumper’s knee, tennis elbow, shin splints, bursitis, non-healing ulcers, scar tissue, and hamstring tendinopathy.
Shockwave Therapy involves generating shockwaves outside the body and delivering the same to the target tissues. Two types are utilized, namely Focused ESWT and Radial Waves. Focused ESWT are high-energy waves that converge at a specific depth, while Radial Waves refer to lower energy waves that spread radially.
