What is Dry Needling Therapy?
Are you wondering how dry needling works?
Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into targeted points on the body which is why the technique is often called ‘trigger point dry needling.’
The trigger points or myofascial trigger points are areas that can alleviate pain, ease skeletal muscle tension, and promote natural physical healing when dry needling is used.
Unlike traditional Chinese acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western medicine that focuses on anatomical and neurophysiological principles.
Called dry needling, the needles are inserted directly into the body’s tight bands of muscle or knots (trigger points) to stimulate the entire healing process. The dry needling releases muscle tension and improves blood flow in the connective tissue. The goal is to promote healing and ease any myofascial pain.
The treatment is called "dry" needling to distinguish it from "wet" needling, which involves injecting substances like corticosteroids or anesthetics into the trigger points. Dry needling does not involve injecting any substances but only involves the therapeutic and stimulative nature of the needle itself.
Typically, a dry needling session is part of a larger treatment plan. During the visit, dry needling is normally combined with other techniques to treat pain and referred pain.
It's important to note that dry needling should only be performed by trained and licensed healthcare professionals, such as chiropractors, or nurses, who have undergone specific training in this technique.
