Dry Needling
Dry needling is a physical therapy technique that effectively reduces muscle tension, pain, and nerve compression symptoms.
What You Can Expect
Dry needling is a PT technique that can be part of manual therapy.
It has been shown to be powerfully effective in decreasing muscle tension and tone (the muscle’s resistance to passive stretching during a resting state) alleviating pain, nerve sensations due to compression of muscle on nerve and overall tightness.
One way physical therapists treat trigger points through dry needling a safe and effective technique using thin monofilament needles to penetrate skin to help treat muscular trigger points. The addition of e-stim acts as an adjunct to enhance the treatment’s pain-relieving effect. E-stim helps to stimulate blood flow and provide analgesic effects to help numb the pain, often providing long-term relief. This can improve a patient’s range of motion and relieve pain.
