Benefits of dry needling

There are tons of musculoskeletal conditions that can be handled with this treatment method.

InHome Rehab Pro in has also found that the vast majority of our patients reached the pain-free outcomes they were looking for, when our conventional exercise-based therapies are combined with this therapy technique.

Our physical therapist will let you know if this therapy teechnique is the appropriate treatment course for you, but only after performing a thorough assessment to determine the severity of your condition!

Does dry needling hurt?

When undergoing procedures, most of our patients report feeling little or no pain.

Our highly trained physical therapists know how to make the procedure as painless as possible, but with the application of the needle, some patients can still experience a “twitch response.”

This is equivalent to a rapid cramp or ache in the muscle. Sometimes, patients report feeling some muscle soreness during the 24-48 hours after the procedure, which typically goes away on its own.

By applying ice and/or heat packs and drinking plenty of fluids, sore muscles can be treated at home.

How does dry needling relieve pain?

Treatment methods are used by our licensed physical therapists as a way to relieve pain.

While it is a common misconception, this treatment method is not acupuncture. It is based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems.

While there are some similarities, dry needling is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.

When performing this treatment method, our physical therapist will insert a sterile needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.

It simply provides an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
