Understanding the Science Behind Dry Needling at FYZICAL

Improve Blood Flow, Reduce Pain

FYZICAL’s Dry Needling therapy is rooted in science and designed to tackle pain at its source. The procedure involves inserting a fine needle into muscle trigger points to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce local pain. This technique is distinct from acupuncture in its focus on musculoskeletal dysfunction, targeting issues like chronic pain, muscle tightness, and neuromuscular imbalances.

Dry Needling for Trigger Points

Research shows that dry needling can be highly effective in managing pain, particularly in areas where traditional physical therapy may fall short. By stimulating specific trigger points, dry needling helps reduce muscle banding, enhance tissue elasticity, and restore muscle function. This is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with conditions such as TMD/TMJ, whiplash, or chronic headaches.

Reduce Pain with Dry Needling

In addition to pain reduction, dry needling can improve overall tissue health. By increasing blood flow, the technique helps supply oxygen and nutrients to damaged muscles, aiding in recovery and promoting long-term healing. The process also activates neuromuscular firing, which supports better muscle contractions and stabilization, key components in injury prevention.
