DRY NEEDLING

Dry Needling: A Safe and Effective Treatment for Muscular Aches and Pains

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points within tight muscles. This technique targets areas of muscle tightness and discomfort. Occasionally, a twitch response may occur as the needle is inserted, but this is a normal part of the process and indicates that the muscle is releasing tension. As the muscle relaxes, you’ll experience a reduction in pain and discomfort.

Benefits of Dry Needling:

  • Relieves Pain: Targets the source of pain and helps alleviate discomfort.

  • Reduces Muscle Tightness: Loosens tight muscles, improving overall muscle function.

  • Increases Flexibility: Enhances the range of motion by addressing muscle tightness.

  • Improves Range of Motion: Facilitates better movement and flexibility in affected areas.

  • Increases Blood Flow: Promotes circulation to the area, aiding in muscle recovery.

  • Promotes Tissue Healing: Encourages healing of muscle tissues by stimulating blood flow and reducing tightness.

Application in Our Clinic:

  • Pelvic Girdle Pain: Roxy frequently uses dry needling to treat patients with pelvic girdle pain. By targeting the tight muscles around the pelvis, dry needling helps reduce pain and improve mobility.

  • Postural Aches/Pains: For individuals suffering from postural issues and associated muscle pain, dry needling can relieve tension and restore comfortable movement.

Why Choose Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a valuable tool in managing muscular pain and dysfunction, complementing other therapeutic approaches. It is a safe procedure with the potential to significantly enhance your recovery and quality of life.
