Dry needling is a safe and effective treatment technique performed by specially trained Physical Therapists. It involves using a very thin, sterile needle to gently target tight muscles, trigger points, or areas of irritation that may be contributing to pain or limited movement.

The goal is to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal movement patterns. Many patients notice reduced pain, increased mobility, and faster recovery when dry needling is combined with exercise and other physical therapy interventions.

We understand that the idea of needles can sometimes feel intimidating. Rest assured, the needles used are extremely fine, much small diameter than those used for injections or vaccines. Many describe it as a far more pleasant experience than expected and often feel immediate relief afterward. Although it can be a very beneficial intervention in many care plans for patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain, it is not mandatory and there are other options for patients if they are apprehensive to try dry needling.

Dry needling can be a valuable part of your rehabilitation plan, helping you move more comfortably and get back to the activities you enjoy.
