What Dry Needling Is and How It Works

Dry needling is a technique that uses thin, sterile needles inserted into specific muscle trigger points. These trigger points are areas of tight muscle fibers that can contribute to discomfort, stiffness, and limited movement.

Dry needling works by:

  • Releasing muscle tension
  • Improving blood flow to targeted areas
  • Encouraging muscles to relax and reset
  • Supporting improved range of motion

  • Improving blood flow to targeted areas
  • Encouraging muscles to relax and reset
  • Supporting improved range of motion

This therapy focuses on muscular function rather than joint alignment, making it an effective complement to chiropractic adjustments.

Conditions That May Benefit From Dry Needling

Dry needling is commonly used for muscle-related concerns that affect daily movement and comfort. While results vary by individual, patients often seek dry needling for:

  • Muscle tightness and stiffness
  • Restricted range of motion
  • Postural strain from daily activities
  • Repetitive motion tension
  • General muscle discomfort

Each session is guided by an evaluation of movement patterns and muscle response.

What to Expect During a Dry Needling Session

Dry needling sessions are designed to be straightforward and efficient while maintaining patient comfort.

Before Treatment

Your provider will discuss your symptoms, movement limitations, and comfort preferences. Areas to be treated are clearly explained before beginning.

During Treatment

Thin needles are placed into targeted muscle areas. Sensations may include brief muscle twitching, pressure, or tightness, which typically subsides quickly.

After Treatment

Some mild soreness may occur, similar to post-exercise discomfort. Many patients report improved movement and reduced tension following treatment.

Guidance may be provided on hydration, movement, or stretching to support recovery.
