What is Dry Needling?

arco 12

Dry needling therapy is a specialized technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction by inserting thin needles into specific trigger points within the muscles. This approach targets tight knots and areas of muscle tension, aiming to alleviate pain and improve muscle function. The needles stimulate the trigger points, which can help release built-up tension, enhance blood flow, and promote natural healing.

Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses specifically on musculoskeletal pain and aims to address the underlying causes of muscle discomfort. It is commonly used for conditions such as chronic pain, muscle strains, and sports injuries. By directly targeting areas of dysfunction, dry needling helps restore optimal muscle function and contributes to overall physical well-being.

Dry needling can treat various conditions, including muscle pain, myofascial pain syndrome, muscle strains, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and sports injuries. It is effective for relieving chronic muscle tension and improving range of motion.

The sensation of dry needling varies by individual. While the needles themselves are very thin and typically cause minimal discomfort, you might experience a mild, temporary ache or twitching in the muscle during the treatment. Any discomfort usually subsides shortly after the session.

The number of sessions required depends on your specific condition and response to treatment. Some people experience relief after just one session, while others may need several treatments for optimal results. Your therapist will provide a personalized plan based on your needs.

Before the session, ensure you are well-hydrated and avoid heavy meals. After the session, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and engage in gentle stretching or light activity to support muscle recovery. Some soreness or bruising may occur, which is normal and should resolve within a few days.
