What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique where thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific trigger points within muscles. These trigger points are tight, irritated muscle fibers that can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

By targeting these points, dry needling helps:

  • Release muscle tension

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Improve blood circulation

  • Speed up recovery

 

 

Why Combine Dry Needling with Chiropractic Care?

When used together, dry needling and chiropractic care offer a comprehensive approach to pain relief and mobility restoration.

1. Enhanced Muscle Relaxation

Dry needling addresses muscle tightness at its root, allowing your muscles to relax. This makes chiropractic adjustments smoother, longer-lasting, and more effective.

2. Improved Pain Relief

Both treatments target pain differently:

  • Dry needling reduces muscle knots and inflammation.

  • Chiropractic care relieves pressure on nerves and improves alignment.

Together, they provide well-rounded pain relief for both muscles and joints.

3. Faster Recovery

By aligning the spine and releasing muscle restrictions, this combination helps your body recover more quickly from injuries, sports strain, and chronic pain conditions.

4. Long-Lasting Results

Instead of just masking symptoms, dry needling and chiropractic address both structural and muscular causes of pain. This reduces your chances of recurring issues and improves long-term wellness.
