I woke up to extreme pain and calf cramp on my right side, it still hurts now and it's been nearly 24 hours. The whole night I was thinking how nice it would be to just stick a needle into where it's the tightest and started googling if it was a thing and found this video. Now I just need to find myself an acupuncturist

[@user-fh5su4ui8w]

not an acupuncturist, they do superficial needling which focuses on meridians, you need a physical therapist certified in dry needling

[@camwongphysio]

As comment below suggested, acupuncture and dry needling are different!

[@l_shane_l]

This is not acupuncture,You need to find a physical therapist who is certified in dry needling not sure where you are located but a quick google search would likely give you some ideas pretty quickly

Thats one way to get stabbed but in a good way i guess

Dry needling is amazing! I had it done on my traps for herniated discs in my neck. You feel the quick spasm and release and your muscle is so relaxed. Highly recommend!

This is the most effective to get away the pain or stiffness in you muscles after needle. 100% so effective. I know coz my wife is a physical therapist and she always needles my back, delts, pecs, hamstring, quads and calves after heavy lifting at the gym.

[@camwongphysio]

So beneficial!

[@mmmmmmm81622]

not if you’re an athlete that takes heavy load playing basketball or 🏈

[@steveaustine05]

@@mmmmmmm81622 Not? LOL, you dont know what you are saying bro. To tell you, my PT wife used this for her patients, a basketball player, a soccer player, and a football player. They also needle their players during the game if they feel muscle stiffness or pain because it will relieve it afterwards, and then they can play without any discomfort. Learn it somehow and experience it before you say it.

Damn I blew my calves at the gym 10 years ago. It's painful just walking through a large store to do my shopping. Driving keeps my calves in constant pain because of working the pedals. I need this!

@@wildfornature_ That's not a thing. Anything you can do to both calves at the same time just running would not cause severe or permanent damage. See a real doctor and stop using dramatic terms like "blew out" unless it was a literal massive rupture of the muscle or tendon.

[@hectordehesa2118]

When I got it done to my lower back they hooked up electrodes and shocked it to release the tension. It was immediate relief.

[@viralcontroversialshortsyt]

was it due to herniated disk?

[@hectordehesa2118]

@@viralcontroversialshortsyt yes it was! I was going to a chiropractor 4x a week for a month with no real sustainable relief. After the first dry needling session my back never tightened back up like it was. I still have a minor disc bulge but doctor said with physical I should be back to normal soon. I also am doing ozone therapy. It’s a vitamin shot with O3 to my back also has changed my recovery game for the better. I’m on my second series of three shots but it beats surgery.

[@johnden-ve9cg]

Does it hurt?

[@hectordehesa2118]

@@johnden-ve9cg not as much as you think it would. More like a pinch or like feeling from a shot. But once the needle is in, it feels like a dull ache until they remove it. Once the electrodes are going it just feeling like tingles. But the results were instant. Totally worth it
