When you have a sudden injury, it is very painful, but you know that you don’t need surgery or have a broken bone. The acute timeline is up to thirty days. The amount of sessions that would be need would be less, because there is hope that there is no permanent damage to the tissues or surrounding joints. An expected session protocol would be 1-2 times a week for a few weeks. These sessions can help support improved healing and decreased swelling.
The first session would provide significant pain relief, but other sessions maybe needed to feel your best to address the underlying trauma to the body.
Healing is not linear, you may feel better, then after a treatment you might not feel such a significant improvement, but improvement is being made. Bones, muscles, surrounding tissue, and soft structures most likely have damage and have different healing times.
When you have a chronic injury, that means that the injury didn’t heal within the thirty days acute phase. An Injury is deemed chronic after the sixty-day mark. If the injury has been longer than six months, then there are changes to the brain and how your body interprets pain, this is called Pain Brain.
The number of sessions that would be need would be more than a recent injury. When you are in pain your body supports the injury. That leads to muscle stretching and shortening to project the joint. It can also lead to permanent joint and soft tissue changes.
How many sessions that you would need depends on what else you are doing for this injury. Expected session protocol would be 1-2 times a week for a month or longer to make permanent changes to your body and neuromuscular system.
The first session would provide significant pain relief, but other sessions maybe needed to feel your best to address the underlying trauma to the body.

The vagus nerve contributes to the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn reflex. When it is on over drive and it can contribute to pain, and an overtaxed nervous system. When the Vagus Nerve has been on over drive you can find yourself not able to sleep, with gastrointestinal upset, nervousness, and anxiety.
Dry needling can directly impact the Vagu Nerve by placing a needle on the spot of the ear, the only place where it is exposed on the skin. These needles relax the nervous system and can help improve your sleep and other areas of your life. It can break the overactive cycle and help you sleep better, deal with stress, and reduce anxiety.
A protocol for this therapy is once a week till you are better able to manage your stress or situation. Or if you have very significant stress, you can come 1-2 a week for better regulation of your nervous system.

Scars hold emotions, whether you received the scar from an accident, a surgery, or just from everyday life. They can remind you of something horrible that happened. They can remind you of some failing of your body. Or they can remind you of when you were able to live again. Scars are not just about your skin having a flaw. Scars are their own type of pathology.
Scars can go very deep in the body. They can restrict movement of muscles, joints, or even fluid. They can restrict digestion, lead to pain that area or other parts of your body or even breathing.
If you are a candidate for scar therapy, it does take a few sessions to get the maximum benefit. I find that five sessions are needed to have significant permanent changes to the soft tissue around the scar, and the scar itself.
