How to Improve Health & Autonomic Nervous System Homeostasis with Dry Needling

How to Improve Health & Autonomic Nervous System Homeostasis with Dry Needling: Hyperactive sympathetics lead to excessive acetylcholine production, diminished acetylcholine esterase production, along with excessive intracellular calcium concentration. These factors make it next to impossible for the actin-myosin cross-bridge to disconnect. A detrimental feedback loop ensues where the muscles hurt, they contract more, become more hypoxic, more nasty chemicals accumulate, many of which are pain amplifiers, the muscle cannot relax, it hurts more, and so on.

Another thing that happens with chronically hyperactive sympathetics is, rather than just the post synaptic cleft being receptive to acetylcholine, the entire epimysium (muscle lining) becomes receptive to acetylcholine. With excessive concentrations of acetylcholine and the entire epimysium becoming receptive to it, a slow, chemical shortening of muscles begins. This is not active, spontaneous electrical contraction, it is a chemical contraction, which may not show up on an EMG.

Hyperactive sympathetics also dysregulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the gut-brain-axis (enteric nervous system + brain), both part of the ANS, along with the trigeminocervical complex. If these axes and complexes are dysregulated, all of our hormones, peptides, neuromodulators, immune systems, etc., become dysregulated and malfunction. This can lead to just about any mental or physical impairment.

Dry needling is, without question, the most powerful tool Physical Therapists have at their disposal to quickly and effectively regulate the central and autonomic nervous systems toward homeostasis, which, in turn, regulates our muscle health. Without autonomic homeostasis, nothing in our body works properly. Remember, the overall effect of needling, almost regardless of how it is performed, results in sympathetic depression below baseline and parasympathetic elevation above baseline. This works out well for us since basically all physical therapy patients present with sympathetic hyperactivity. This works especially well if you specifically target the parasympathetics with needles, along with whatever else you are needling.
