Dry Needling is a technique that is used in the clinic for muscular pain.
We find a knot in the muscle that is causing or contributing to the pain, and we address it with a very thin needle that gets inserted into the muscle. It helps that muscle to relax and reset and work as it should.
It is not uncommon to feel a little sore after this intervention. Typically we tell patients it is like getting a deep tissue massage, and how you might feel a bit sore after. We address the soreness with heat or ice on the sore area.
After a day or two when the soreness subsides, most patients report that the initial pain they experienced is greatly reduced.
