Dry Needling
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a needling procedure where a thin, monofilament needle is inserted into the skin to target underlying muscular trigger points. While similar to acupuncture, it is not the same. Dry needling is based in western medicine and is performed based on posture, pain patterns, movement functions, and orthopedic tests. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is not quite as precise. Dry needling is used to treat muscular pain and impairments that prevent you from moving properly. Our experts are trained in dry needling and are skilled at their craft. So get started on your path to pain relief today!
How Does it Help?
Dry needling is used to target specific muscles and their contracture points to help with pain relief and movement impairments. If you struggle with muscle tightness or other ailments, dry needling (when applied to the right areas) is able to reduce tightness, improve blood flow, and reduce local and referred pain. It is not typically a standalone treatment, but is often used in tandem with other treatments like chiropractic services in order to have full effect.
Who Should Get It?
Dry needling is a safe procedure and can be given to anyone experiencing musculoskeletal pain. It is often given to those with neck, shoulder, hip, and heel pain, but can be used to treat other painful areas of the body.
