Dry Needling with D.J. Green, PT, DPT

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by healthcare professionals, particularly physical therapists, to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and improve function. Despite its growing popularity, many people are still unfamiliar with what dry needling involves and how it can benefit them.

 

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves the insertion of thin, filiform needles into the skin and underlying tissues to target myofascial trigger points, muscular knots, and connective tissues. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on restoring energy flow, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and focuses on relieving pain and improving muscle function.

​

Benefits of Dry Needling

Dry needling offers several benefits, making it a valuable tool in the management of various conditions:

1. Pain Relief: It is particularly effective for treating chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, tension headaches, and myofascial pain syndrome.

2. Improved Mobility: By releasing muscle tension, dry needling can enhance flexibility and joint mobility, aiding in faster recovery from injuries.

3. Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often use dry needling to address muscle tightness and improve performance by ensuring optimal muscle function.

4. Complementary Therapy: It can be used alongside other treatments such as physical therapy, massage, and exercise to enhance overall treatment outcomes.

Dry needling is a versatile and effective technique for managing pain and improving musculoskeletal function. Whether used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other therapies, it offers significant benefits for those seeking relief from chronic pain and improved physical performance.
