Dry Needling is a highly effective non-invasive treatment, designed to target muscular trigger points and provide relief from pain, while simultaneously enhancing flexibility.
This innovative therapy involves the precise insertion of thin, solid filiform needles into specific areas of muscle tension or dysfunction. By targeting trigger points, Dry Needling stimulates the release of tight bands or knots within the muscle, promoting muscle relaxation and improved blood flow. With Dry Needling therapy, our patients often experience reduced pain, increased range of motion, and enhanced overall mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Acupuncture and Dry Needling are both techniques involving the insertion of thin needles into the body, but they have distinct differences in their underlying principles and applications. Dry Needling is a modern treatment approach primarily targeting muscular trigger points to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and aims to restore the flow of energy along meridians to promote healing and alleviate various health issues.
Dry Needling works by inserting thin needles directly into trigger points within muscles, tendons, or fascia. These trigger points are tight bands or knots that can cause pain and restrict movement. The insertion of the needle stimulates the trigger point, causing it to relax and release tension. Our team of skilled chiropractors specialize in various treatment areas – and your plan will be tailored to address your individual needs and provide effective relief from pain and discomfort.
While sensations vary from person to person, many individuals describe Dry Needling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel a brief twitch or cramping sensation when the needle reaches a trigger point, but this typically subsides quickly. Some people may experience temporary soreness or bruising at the needle insertion site following the treatment, but it is usually mild and short-lived. Your chiropractor will provide personalized Dry Needling after care guidance tailored to your specific needs and treatment plan. Remember that your chiropractor is your partner in wellness, and they are dedicated to supporting you throughout your healing journey – follow their guidance closely to optimize the benefits of your Dry Needling treatment.
When performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional, Dry Needling is considered safe. The needles used are sterile and disposable, minimizing the risk of infection. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and contraindications to consider. It’s essential to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing Dry Needling. Additionally, if you experience severe or prolonged pain or any unusual symptoms after treatment, you should contact your medical provider.
