What is Dry Needling Treatment?

Dry needling is an advanced and effective method to help manage pain. The procedure involves penetrating microfilament needles into the tightened muscles to release the tautness. It is a completely safe and medication-free procedure and has almost instant results in pain relief. 

The highly trained and experienced trigger point dry needling experts at Elevate PT possess the expertise to identify the trigger points in the muscles and execute the dry needling therapy with extreme care and caution and deliver relief from pain.

Does Dry Needling Treatment Hurt?

Like with any procedure, whether or not you experience pain can differ from person to person. Some patients claim that they don’t feel any pain, while others say they can feel moderate pain in the treated area. Patients also say they can feel instant relief in the muscle, with some tenderness later on.

 

How does dry needling differ from acupuncture? 

Dry needling goes deeper into the targeted and specific muscle and treats localized areas of soft tissue pain.
