Dry Needling for Hallux Rigidus
Рет қаралды 6,290
Hallux Rigidus is stiffness in the large joint of the big toe and is usually characterized by degeneration of the joint.
In pursuit of an effective treatment for hallux rigidus, and to try and self treat some gnarly degeneration in Dave's own feet, we are developing a protocol for this challenging diagnosis.
Dry needling has been shown to increase blood flow and healing in the tissues of the body. Whether or not this is helpful to improve the joint health is yet to be seen.
So far, this is the 4th treatment and the joint is feeling 25% better. We are planning on 12 treatments and then to reassess the joint. Stay tuned!

Did you push the needle all the way into the joint capsule? Also have you ever tried this for sesamoiditis to any affect?

Tried to get it in the capsule. I haven't tried it for seasmoiditis.

If you go to an actual acupuncturist they may be able to help why you have it and not only address that fact that you have it.

Could you use numbing cream for this procedure?

Some of the benefit is hypothesized to come from the pain feeling. The body releases natural pain relievers.
