WHAT IS DRY NEEDLING?
Dry needling is a treatment technique that relieves muscular pain and improves mobility using thin filiform needles. Needles are inserted into myofascial "trigger points" located in muscles, tendons, and/or ligaments, to stimulate the tissue for healing.
Benefits Of Dry Needling Often Include:
- Targeted, immediate pain relief
- Increased range of motion
- Improved blood flow to targeted area
- Speed up recovery time
- Relax tight muscles
Dry needling can be an additional tool used during your regular physical therapy appointments. Combining manual therapy, targeted exercises, and dry needling in a single appointment is an effective and efficient way to help patients move, and feel better quickly.
