Physiotherapeutic puncture with dry needles<\/h2>\n

This technique is used to treat muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. The needle will activate your body’s own healing mechanism in a highly targeted manner to address the chronic pain experienced by the patient.<\/p>\n

\"PPAS<\/p>\n

It allows a reflex relaxation of the muscle (relaxation point) and a restoration of local blood circulation. In short, this approach aims to deactivate muscle tension points (commonly referred to as “muscle knots”), regulate the inflammatory process, and reprogram the nervous system.<\/p>\n

Chronic Pain<\/strong>: Persistent trigger points are often involved in chronic pain. They are in fact a major source of pain that frequently leads to sensitization of the nervous system. It has been shown that trigger-point inactivation reduces stimulation of the central nervous system and therefore reduces chronic pain.<\/p>\n

Athletes<\/strong>: Athletes may develop stiffness during or after intense activity. If these pains remain or return continuously, areas of tension may appear. PPAS makes it possible to reduce or even put an end to these tensions and pains.<\/p>\n

The use of needles under the dermis can therefore be used as an effective treatment modality for several orthopedic conditions such as:<\/p>\n
