Modalities and equipment’s available:
1. THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND is a physical therapy modality that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to promote tissue healing and provide therapeutic benefits.
2. ELECTRICAL STIMULATOR:
EMS- The electrical impulses from the EMS device stimulate the nerves that innervate the muscles, causing the muscles to contract.
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, which is a therapeutic technique that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain
3. SHOCKWAVE THERAPY, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that uses acoustic or sound waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions

Dry Needling
During a dry needling treatment, one or more thin, monofilament needles are inserted into a muscle trigger point. A trigger point is a local band of tight, irritable and dysfunctional muscle tissue. This often emerges because of injury, overuse or poor movement patterns. Trigger points can disrupt your muscle function, restrict your range of motion or cause pain and tenderness.
When dry needling is applied to an affected muscle or trigger point, it can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain. Patients often report immediate relief after treatment. The needles remain in your muscle for a short period of time — between 10 seconds and 20 minutes — during treatment. This depends on the treatment location, number of needles used and treatment goals.Dry needling usually is paired with exercise and other physical therapy techniques to prevent trigger points from reoccurring.
In Gulf Chinese Medical Centre our healthcare practitioners perform dry needling with different up to date techniques like superficial,deep ,intramuscular ,electrical stimulation paired an ultrasound guided method.they are well trained and have great experience with using dry needling to treat various kinds of musculoskeletal conditions
