If you suffer from pain and mobility issues, chiropractic care plus dry needling therapy could be the key to living pain-free again.
Dry Needling is a highly effective non-invasive treatment designed to target muscular trigger points and provide relief from pain while enhancing flexibility.
This innovative therapy involves precisely inserting thin, solid filiform needles into specific areas of muscle tension or dysfunction. When these trigger points are stimulated, tight bands or knots within the muscle are released as blood flow improves. With dry needling treatment therapy, our patients often experience reduced pain and enhanced mobility.

Dry Needling
Frequently Asked Questions
Both techniques involve the insertion of thin needles into the body, but there are distinct differences in the underlying principles and applications of acupuncture vs. dry needling. Dry needling is a modern treatment approach primarily targeting muscular trigger points to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and aims to restore the flow of energy along meridians to promote healing and alleviate various health issues.
What is the dry needling process, and how does it work? The process involves inserting thin needles directly into trigger points within muscles, tendons, or fascia. The needles are passed in and out of each area for about thirty seconds at a time. This causes a series of microlesions in the muscle or tendon, which stimulates blood flow at the trigger points and causes them to relax and release tension. Our team of skilled chiropractors specializes in various treatment areas, and your plan will be tailored to your needs to provide effective relief.
While sensations vary from person to person, many individuals describe dry needling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel a brief twitch or cramping sensation when the needle reaches a trigger point, but this typically subsides quickly. Some people experience temporary soreness or bruising at the needle insertion site after the treatment, but this is usually mild and short-lived. Your chiropractor will provide personalized dry needling aftercare guidance to optimize the benefits and minimize your discomfort. Remember that your chiropractor is your partner in wellness, and they are dedicated to supporting you throughout your healing journey.
When performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional, dry needling is considered safe. The needles are sterile and disposable, minimizing the risk of infection. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and contraindications to consider. It’s essential to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing dry needling. Additionally, if you experience severe or prolonged pain or any unusual symptoms after treatment, you should contact your medical provider.
