Dry Needling
Description
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and trigger points. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific areas of muscle tissue, known as trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots that can cause pain and discomfort. The primary goal of dry needling is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and facilitate the healing of muscular and fascial tissues. When the needle is inserted, it can provoke a local twitch response, which helps release muscle tension and improves blood flow to the affected area. This process can reduce pain, restore normal muscle function, and enhance overall mobility. Dry needling is often used to treat conditions such as myofascial pain syndrome, chronic pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and many report immediate relief from pain and improved function following treatment. If you're interested in trying this modality with your chiropractor, you may select the Standard or Extended Comprehensive Treatment and inform them that you'd like to add this service to your session.
