Motor Point, a quick pain resolution.
Motor Point (MP) Acupuncture relieves common musculoskeletal injuries quickly and effectively resulting a long-lasting treatment outcome.
It is vital to have consistent and reliable treatment strategies to access musculoskeletal injuries in a daily basis, as pain is the number one reason people get acupuncture.
This is why delivering the fast and effective pain relief treatment is so important. Motor Point (MP) Acupuncture is the one of the most frequent methods to approach clients with pain in my clinic. And I personally have experienced a better reduction of pain using MP with electrostimulation.
MP is located in the neuromuscular junction in our body where motor nerves enter the muscle. The location is similar to the traditional acupuncture points or overlapping trigger points. By stimulating MP with a needle that seems to "reset" the dysfunction of muscle affected by repetitive strain or stress. To stimulate MP, "pointer Excel"(hand held e-stim machine) is used to create "jump" or "twitch" response resulting restoration for the muscle function, this can increase the range of motion in the affected area of the client’s body in most of the case, immediately.
Although clients seek a treatment for a variety of reasons, they usually have neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, etc so combining MP is complete way to satisfy the client and their needs as well.
If you are looking for some pain relief treatments with complicated symptoms, contact Jin Choi in the Randwick Acupuncture Clinic.
