Dry Needling
Dry Needling Therapy For Pain
Dry needling is a technique in which a needle without medication is inserted into trigger points. A trigger point is a taut band of skeletal muscle that is located within a larger muscle group. The goal of this technique is to release or inactivate trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion.
Dry needling has been shown to improve pain control and reduce muscle tension. The dry needle allows the physical therapist to target tissues that are not manually palpable. This technique also helps speed up the patient’s return to active rehabilitation. The staff at Southern Spine Institute are trained and experienced in this form of therapy for their patients.
