Since the 1980s, dry needling has involved careful placement of hair-thin needles into myofascial trigger points which are small muscle knots that are highly sensitive & painful to the touch. This procedure relieves pain, improves joint range of motion and addresses neuromuscular conditions. Dry needling is a minimally invasive treatment with low risk of complication, research shows, dry needling is effective in relieving acute & chronic pain when used along with other treatments including chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, stretching & massage therapy. Dry needling may help disk problems, jaw & mouth problems, such as TMJ (TMD), joint problems, muscle spasm, myofascial pain, migraine & tension-type headaches, pelvic pain, phantom pain, pain left behind by shingles, reduced range of motion, repetitive motion disorders, like carpal tunnel syndrome, scar-tissue buildup, spinal problems, tendonitis, and whiplash. Most people require at least 2 to 3 dry needling sessions to reach the full effects of treatment, though some may need up to 6 office visits. Dry needling may be performed once or twice per week.
