What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is used to release trigger points within the muscles. Once the trigger point is released, the muscle can begin to return to normal length and function. The normal microtrauma caused by the needling stimulates a healing environment in the surrounding tissue. Dry needling combined with electrical stimulation has been shown to reverse centrally-mediated pain.
The Dry Needling Expereince:
During your first initial exam, the treated area will be determined. Microfine needles will be placed in any trigger points or knots, the needles are coupled with electrical stimulation to not only enhance the experience but to penetrate the muscles to release the tension. This relaxing and beneficial experience is anywhere from 8 - 10 minutes and is usually performed weekly.
