Dry needling is an evidence-based technique used by our chiropractors to help reduce pain and restore muscle function.
A very fine sterile needle is inserted into tight areas of muscle called trigger points. This can help reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow and stimulate the nervous system to decrease pain. Often a small muscle twitch occurs, helping the muscle relax and reset.
Conditions Dry Needling May Help
• Neck and back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Headaches
• Tennis elbow
• Hip and gluteal pain
• Achilles pain
• Plantar fasciitis
Dry needling works best when combined with rehabilitation exercises and proper movement of the surrounding joints including the spine.
