Dry needling is one of the most effective methods for breaking the cycle of trigger point discomfort. It was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine but was widely adopted by physical therapists, chiropractors, and other Western medical practitioners. While pain relief is important, it is not the only reason Outcomes Therapy offers dry needling services.
Dry needling practices result in the following health benefits:
- Improve the Symptoms of Chronic Pain
Dry needling can help with two types of chronic pain: myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. Two of the most effective therapies for this form of chronic pain are dry needling and physical therapy. Patients with fibromyalgia who have dry needling often see a significant reduction in their overall pain. - It Alleviates Headaches and Migraines
To soothe and alleviate stress, dry needling is used to target trigger points in muscles and tissue. This helps to avoid headaches and lowers headache pressure. - Improves Blood Flow
The dry needling technique can be used to alleviate stiff muscles, and joint discomfort, and enhance blood flow and oxygen circulation in your body. - Helps with Tendonitis
It helps calm soreness. This means that a skilled physical therapist, chiropractor, or other practitioners will use small needles to relieve muscular tension, treat tendinitis, and promote healing.
