Relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing with expert dry needling at Allied Healthcare. Personalized care from skilled practitioners.
Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique used by specially trained physical therapists to relieve muscular pain, improve mobility, and accelerate healing. Despite its use of needles, it’s not acupuncture. Instead, dry needling is firmly grounded in Western medical principles and neuroanatomy.
Dry needling involves inserting a thin, sterile, solid filament needle into trigger points — taut bands or knots within a muscle that cause pain and restrict motion. These trigger points are often the underlying cause of chronic pain, referred pain, or dysfunction in muscles and joints.
When the needle is inserted into the trigger point, it causes a small twitch response — a rapid contraction of the muscle — followed by relaxation. This helps:
While both involve the use of needles, dry needling is different from acupuncture in intent, theory, and technique. Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on balancing energy flow through meridians. Dry needling, on the other hand, is based on Western anatomy and targets musculoskeletal dysfunction directly.
