What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a skilled intervention that is a bit like acupuncture, however it is based on Western medicine theory, scientific research, and uses western based anatomy & physiology to identify and treat trigger points. It is a great additional therapy to assist with your Chiropractic treatment.
Dry Needling helps reduce muscular tension and strain and assists in the reduction of pain.
It has also been shown to reduce joint swelling and it can improve joint mobility.
Chiros and Myo-therapists often use this treatment technique for chronic injuries including:
- Shoulder & neck tension
- Lower back & leg pain
- Headache & migraine management
- Sciatic & leg pain
- Knee, calf, hamstring & quad injury or strain
- Shoulder, elbow, wrist muscle injury/strain
- Osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain
- Muscle spasms
How does Dry Needling Work
Dry needling uses a very fine filament needle to stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points in your muscular and connective tissue, to reduce your muscle pain and improve your movement.
