Acupuncture & Chiropractic Care
Dry needling, also called medical acupuncture is a type of therapy that involves inserting thin needles into the skin to stimulate trigger points in the body.
It is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medical treatment that involves inserting needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain and promote healing.
During A Dry Needling Treatment
During a dry needling treatment, your chiropractor will use a thin, solid needle to puncture the skin and stimulate specific points in the muscle or tissue.
These points are known as trigger points, and they are areas of muscle that are tight, knotted, or painful.
The needle is used to manipulate the trigger point, which is believed to help relax the muscle and improve circulation to the area.
Dry Needling Treatment For Muscle Pain, Tension And Spasms
Dry needling is often used to treat muscle pain, tension, and spasms, and it is thought to be effective at relieving chronic pain, improving range of motion, and reducing muscle tension.
It is commonly used in combination with other therapies, such as massage, physical therapy, and chiropractic care.
Dry Needling By Trained Healthcare Professionals
It is important to note that dry needling is a medical procedure and should only be performed by a trained healthcare professional, such as a chiropractor or a doctor.
If you are interested in dry needling as a treatment option, you should speak to your healthcare professional to see if it is appropriate for you.
