CHIROPRACTIC & ACUPUNCTURE
Understanding Dry Needling
The term "dry needling" refers to a type of treatment that uses needles and is carried out by licensed, skilled physical therapists, chiropractors, and other medical professionals who have received the necessary training.
The damaged trigger points, also known as tension-tight, inflammatory parts of the body, are treated with sterile, liquid-free needles. Your muscles may twitch suddenly and spasmodically as a natural response. It is usually painless and is a step in the procedure.
The name refers to the physical needles used, which were not injected with any liquids into your body. A practitioner will pierce your skin with many filiform needles during dry needling. Sharp, brief, dry needles made of stainless steel are called filiform needles.
BENEFITS OF DRY NEEDLING
A similar to acupuncture needle is inserted into the trigger point to relax the muscles, increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and start a healing process. Additionally, this procedure enhances nerve conduction and triggers the production of your body's natural painkillers.
