Dry Needling

Dry needling has been shown to provide numerous benefits for those suffering from muscle pain and dysfunction. Some key benefits include:

• Pain Relief: Targets specific muscle knots and trigger points, helping to reduce pain and discomfort.
• Improved Range of Motion: Alleviates stiffness and enhances joint mobility, making it easier to move without restriction.
• Muscle Recovery: Speeds up recovery from injuries by promoting blood flow and tissue healing.
• Reduction in Muscle Tension: Helps to release tight muscles, reducing overall body tension and stress.
• Increased Flexibility: Aids in restoring flexibility to muscles, making it easier to perform daily activities and exercises.

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Chronic muscle pain
• Tension headaches
• Sports injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, runner’s knee)
• Back pain (upper and lower)
• Sciatica
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
• Plantar fasciitis
• IT band syndrome

During a dry needling session, a licensed therapist will insert very thin needles into specific muscle points where tension or trigger points are present. This may cause a slight twitch response in the muscle.

The needles used are solid, meaning no medication is injected—hence the term "dry" needling. This technique helps to reset the muscle fibers, reduce muscle spasm, and promote healing through increased blood flow to the affected area.

• Your First Visit: Your therapist will begin by reviewing your medical history, current symptoms, and specific areas of concern. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
• Needle Insertion: The therapist will insert fine needles into the affected areas. You may feel a slight sensation of pressure or a muscle twitch, but it should not be painful.
• Post-Treatment Care: After your session, your therapist will offer advice on stretching, hydration, and post-treatment activities to ensure optimal results.

Yes, dry needling is generally considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and licensed professional. The needles are single-use, sterile, and very thin, so the risk of side effects is minimal. However, some patients may experience mild soreness or bruising at the needle insertion sites, which typically resolves within a few days.
