Dry Needling

Service Description

Dry needling is a specialized physical therapy technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target areas of muscle tension, trigger points, and other sources of musculoskeletal pain. By stimulating targeted tissues, dry needling can help reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, decrease pain, and restore normal movement. At The Better PT, dry needling is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and is combined with therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and movement training to address the underlying cause of your symptoms rather than simply treating the pain. Potential Benefits of Dry Needling: • Reduce muscle tension and tightness • Decrease pain and discomfort • Improve range of motion and mobility • Promote muscle relaxation • Improve muscle activation and function • Support recovery from muscle and joint injuries • Help restore normal movement patterns Dry needling can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing persistent muscle tightness, joint pain, sports related injuries, and movement limitations. Your treatment will be individualized based on your symptoms, goals, and physical therapy assessment.
