Dry Needling
Dry needling is a precise technique where fine needles are gently inserted into specific areas of a muscle, known as myofascial trigger points, to alleviate pain and discomfort. This method aims to encourage the release or relaxation of tight muscle tissues, enhancing comfort and mobility.
The needles we use at our facility are sterile, high-quality, and incredibly thin, ranging from 0.16 to 0.30 millimeters in diameter. They are single-use to ensure safety and hygiene, with minimal risk of bleeding or bruising at the insertion site. By targeting the tense parts of the muscle, dry needling is carefully executed to maximize therapeutic effects and is removed after a brief duration. As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, dry needling offers numerous benefits, including reduced pain, increased joint flexibility, enhanced muscle activation, and accelerated tissue healing post-injury.
​
Dry needling is versatile and can be effectively used to address a wide array of musculoskeletal issues throughout the body. It is particularly beneficial for chronic conditions that have not responded well to other treatments. Common ailments treated with dry needling include headaches, jaw or TMJ dysfunction, neck pain, rib and thoracic pain, acute and chronic shoulder injuries, tennis and golfer’s elbow, lower back pain, and plantar fasciitis
