Dry Needling

EACH PATIENT WILL HAVE THEIR OWN CUSTOMIZED PLAN OF CARE BASED ON THEIR IMPAIRMENTS, DEFICITS, AND GOALS TO RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITY

HOW DRY NEEDLING WORKS

Dry needling involves inserting a thin monofilament needle directly into myofascial trigger points to stimulate a healing response. Each patient will have their own customized plan of care based on their impairments, deficits, and goals to return to normal activity. We will also incorporate stretching and strengthening to address the root cause of the trigger point.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a highly effective technique for relieving muscular pain and stiffness. It aims to release hyper-irritable spots in the fascia and muscle tissue. The benefits include immediate pain reduction, improved range of motion, and expedited recovery from chronic injuries. Patients undergoing dry needling often recover faster and return to their sport or daily activities with improved performance and a reduced risk of re-injury.

DRY NEEDLING FREQUENCY

The suggested frequency for dry needling is highly individualized, depending on the nature and severity of the muscular condition. Patients may undergo sessions typically 1-2 times a week during the acute phase to address pain and regain function. As progress is made, the frequency may decrease, and the focus may shift to performance enhancement and injury prevention.
