DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is an effective therapeutic technique used by physical therapists to treat muscle pain and improve mobility. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into muscle knots or trigger points to relieve tension, reduce pain, and promote healing. By targeting specific areas of tightness, dry needling helps to improve blood flow, restore movement, and alleviate discomfort. This minimally invasive procedure is beneficial for conditions such as muscle strains, chronic pain, and tension. Dry needling is a safe and effective treatment option designed to enhance your recovery and overall well-being.

​

Dry needling is commonly used in physical therapy to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving muscle pain and dysfunction. These include:

 

• Trigger points and myofascial pain syndrome

• Chronic neck and back pain

• Shoulder pain (e.g., rotator cuff issues, frozen shoulder)

• Tension headaches and migraines

• Tendonitis or tendinopathy (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)

• Hip and gluteal pain

• Sciatica and piriformis syndrome

• Knee pain 

• Plantar fasciitis

• Muscle tightness or spasms that limit movement

​​

It’s often used alongside other physical therapy techniques to reduce pain, release tight muscles, and improve mobility and function.
