📣 DRY NEEDLING PSA 📣
Who would benefit?
👉🏼 Individuals having trouble with daily movements limited by pain and decreased range of motion
What does dry needling do?
👉🏼 Dry needling is a technique used by physical therapists to treat pain, improve range of motion, and restore function by inactivating trigger points
Why is it called "dry" needling?
👉🏼 This technique uses a monofilament needle, so it does not deliver an injection or medicine like a hollow-bore needle
Is it the same as acupuncture?
👉🏼 The simple answer, no
👉🏼 Dry needling is modern Western medicine based on anatomy that is supported by research
👉🏼 Acupuncture is based on traditional Eastern medicine (channel theory and improving the flow of "chi")
Does it work better than massage?
👉🏼 Normally, massage has been the main method to alleviate knots and dry needling essentially does the same thing
👉🏼 Dry needling is usually quicker and more efficient, especially when targeting deeper muscles like in your neck and low back
Working with a physical therapist who's passionate about what they do can make all the difference. DM me if you have pain or limited range of motion that's keeping you from enjoying your hobbies, work, or sleep
