Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a skilled technique performed by a physical therapist certified in dry needling using a single-use, single-insertion, sterile filiform needle in a muscle or muscle group. Inserting a very thin needle into the affected area releases muscle tension and normalizes function. This can help to resolve pain, tension, impairments and will promote healing.
​
While it’s understandable to feel anxious about your first Dry Needling experience, most patients only experience brief and mild discomfort during the treatment. After a few visits, many patients grow more comfortable and relaxed with this treatment as positive results are gained.
​
Is this Acupuncture?
Dry needling is not the same as acupuncture.
Dry needling is a direct, medical technique that targets trigger points. Dry needling is performed by a licensed physical therapist.
Acupuncture is performed by an acupuncturist who has been trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or the Five Element model. It includes different assessment methods and treatment goals.
