🩹What is dry needling, and how can it help you?🩹
Dry needling can be a great option if you're dealing with pain, limited mobility, or muscles that just won’t relax.
Dry needling is a technique used by licensed physical therapists to help reduce pain and improve muscle function. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle into tight or irritated muscles (AKA trigger points). This helps release tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing.
We can also pair dry needling with electrical stimulation, or "E-stim". This causes the muscle to contract gently, which can improve the effectiveness of treatment by helping the muscle "reset" and return to normal function faster.
And no - it doesn't hurt! Some clients report mild discomfort, but it is commonly followed by relief.
Common conditions that can be treated with dry needling:
✔️Neck and back pain
✔️Headaches and migraines
✔️Sciatica
✔️Shoulder pain or tightness
✔️Knee pain
✔️Plantar fasciitis
✔️Hip pain
✔️Muscle strains and tightness
✔️Tennis or golfer’s elbow
