What Is Dry Needling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dry needling is a highly effective technique physical therapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. The technique uses a sterilized \u201cdry\u201d needle (does not contain medication) that is inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. Physical therapists often use dry needling as part of an overall treatment plan with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Dry Needling The Same As Acupuncture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, dry needling is NOT acupuncture<\/strong>. While the two therapies share some similarities, dry needling is based on western medical and research approaches. Dry needling or trigger point dry needling, simply creates an environment that promotes the body’s ability to heal while also relieving pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
