Does Getting Dry Needling Therapy Hurt? What to Expect.

What You Need To Know About Dry Needling

Aging, medical conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and traumatic accidents can dramatically impact your ability to stay active. Chiropractic and wellness services can help you feel better, so you can stay active and healthy. Dry needling has become a popular and effective way to regain your health and freedom of movement.

During your dry needling session, your doctor will place tiny needles in the treatment area. Dry needling treatment is typically painless, however some areas are more sensitive than others. If you feel discomfort during your session, your doctor will stop the dry needling treatment.

Dry needling is an excellent therapeutic treatment to help with:

• Headaches
• Chronic pain
• Neck and back pain
• Shoulder and elbow pain
• Sciatica and hip pain
• Knee and Achilles tendon pain
• Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
• Pain due to a sports injury or overuse

Dry needling offers some important benefits, including:

• Reducing pain so you can regain movement
• Relieving tightness in muscles
• Reducing inflammation in joints and surrounding tissues
• Restoring function and range-of-motion
• Decreasing scar tissue

You should notice improvement in function, pain reduction, and greater mobility and flexibility within 3 to 5 treatments.
