Is Dry Needling Right for You? Here’s What You Need to Know

Dry Needling for Muscle Tightness

FYZICAL’s Dry Needling service offers a safe and effective solution for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including tight muscles, chronic pain, and poor posture. But how does it work, and who is it best suited for? Dry needling involves inserting a thin monofilament needle directly into muscle tissue. This technique can release tension, improve blood flow, and alleviate pain, making it particularly beneficial for athletes, postoperative patients, and individuals dealing with recurring muscle tightness.

Reduce Pain in Neck, Shoulders, Back & Hips

Dry needling is distinct from acupuncture in that it focuses on muscle groups and trigger points rather than traditional meridian lines. This targeted approach can be effective in reducing pain in specific areas like the neck, shoulders, back, and hips, as well as treating broader issues such as headaches and whiplash. For runners, athletes, and active individuals, it helps address movement inefficiencies, restoring stability and reducing strain on overworked muscles.

Customize Your Dry Needling

FYZICAL’s team of certified physical therapists creates a customized dry needling plan tailored to each patient’s needs. By addressing dysfunctional muscles, dry needling can improve tissue elasticity, increase neuromuscular firing, and even help the brain recalibrate pain signals. This process not only alleviates pain but also promotes long-term muscle health and functional recovery.
