Are you struggling with pain or stiffness and need immediate relief? Our practitioners offer yet another effective solution for your conditions through dry needling. Find out how you can reduce your pain when you schedule dry needling at Chicago Chiropractic & Sports Injury Centers.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialized treatment that involves inserting very small acupuncture needles into specific points to create an effective change in tissue, and tonicity, and relieve inflammation. Despite its name, dry needling does not inject anything into the body, it works by encouraging healing which results in symptom relief.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
The process begins with a thorough evaluation by our skilled practitioners to identify the precise trigger points causing discomfort or symptoms. By inserting sterile needles into these areas, dry needling works to release tension, inflammation, toxins, and other materials that inhibit the body’s ability to heal. While some patients report an immediate sense of relief, it may take several visits to combat certain conditions.
Ailments Treated by Dry Needling
Whether you’re an athlete looking to recover or a parent trying to keep up, trigger point dry needling can help with a myriad of conditions. It’s particularly effective for:
- Strains and sprains
- Neck and back pain
- Tendonitis
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Jaw pain (TMJ disorders)
- Spinal/Joint Conditions
Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture: Understanding the Difference
Though we also offer acupuncture, dry needling is a different modality and can treat various conditions. Dry needling focuses on relieving muscular pain and stiffness by targeting trigger points, and an electrical current can be infused into the needle to accelerate the healing of more severe injuries, such as broken bones.
