Dry needling is a highly effective technique used to target muscle tightness, trigger points, and chronic pain. By inserting fine, sterile needles into these specific areas, we can relieve deep-seated muscle tension and improve blood flow, accelerating your body’s natural healing processes. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy pathways, dry needling is based on Western anatomical principles and aims to alleviate physical sources of pain directly.

About Dry Needling

Dry needling involves the insertion of fine needles into trigger points—tight knots in the muscles that can cause pain in other areas of your body. These trigger points often form due to muscle overuse, injury, or tension. By targeting these points, dry needling helps reduce muscle tightness, enhance range of motion, and relieve pain.

Our skilled therapists at Fit and Fine Rehab use this technique to release trigger points, creating an immediate effect on pain reduction and restoring normal function.

How Can I Benefit from This?

Dry needling offers a wide range of benefits for individuals dealing with muscle pain, tension, or stiffness. Here are just a few of the ways it can help:

• Pain Relief: Whether it’s back pain, neck stiffness, or joint discomfort, dry needling works to deactivate the painful trigger points that contribute to chronic pain.
• Improved Mobility: By releasing tight muscles, dry needling helps increase flexibility and range of motion, making it easier for you to move and perform daily activities.
• Faster Recovery: If you’re recovering from injury or surgery, dry needling can accelerate the healing process by promoting blood flow and reducing muscle inflammation.
• Chronic Pain Management: For those suffering from conditions like fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome, dry needling can provide long-term relief from persistent discomfort.

Does This Method of Pain Relief Hurt?

While the idea of needles may seem intimidating, the process of dry needling is generally well-tolerated by most people. The needles are incredibly fine, and although you may feel a slight muscle twitch or mild discomfort when the needle hits a trigger point, the sensation is brief. Many patients describe it as a temporary “pinch” or pressure, followed by noticeable relief.

At Fit and Fine Rehab, we ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible and tailored to your individual needs. Our therapists will guide you through the process and adjust the technique based on your comfort level.
