What You Need to Know About Dry Needling
For most individuals seeking chiropractic care, everyday pain and loss of function are usually the reason. There are several different chiropractic services available that can help treat this pain and get you back to feeling like your normal self. Dry Needling is one service that can potentially help cease your tight muscles and joints. Here’s everything you need to know about Dry Needling.
Dry Needling is commonly used for pain relief in tight muscles and joints. Having tight muscles not only causes pain directly in the muscles themselves, but can also cause referred pain. Referred pain is caused by tight muscles but is oftentimes felt in different areas of the body. For example, if you suffer from migraines or headaches, it may be caused by tight muscles in your shoulders.
Most of the time, a regular chiropractic adjustment can help loosen your muscles, and give relief for pain. However, there are times when an adjustment or massage is not enough to loosen the muscles, that is when your chiropractor may suggest dry needling therapy. Sometimes a massage or adjustment will relax your muscles for short periods of time, only to tighten up again later. This is another example of when dry needling therapy will be recommended.
