Benefits of Dry Needling, It might be the answer

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapy that is performed by skilled and trained physical therapists who are certified in the procedure. A very thin, monofilament, stainless steel needle is inserted into the underlying muscle, activating the trigger points. This allows for management of the musculoskeletal pain and impaired movement in the muscle.

Benefits of Dry Needling

The main purpose of dry needling is to provide muscular pain and stiffness relief. By stimulating the trigger points or knotted muscle, dry needling improves flexibility and increases the range-of-motion. Hypoxia, a decreased flow of blood to the muscles, creates hypersensitization in the injured area. Inserting the dry needles into these areas stimulates the muscles. This relaxes the muscle, restoring blood flow and effectively reducing the pain. Incorporating dry needling into a treatment plan restores muscle function quicker than those without it. Patients can expect to see positive results in their musculoskeletal system within 2 to 4 sessions at our Union, KY, office.
