What is Dry Needling?Dry Needling is a treatment technique often used by physical therapists to eliminate What are Trigger Points?Trigger points are small knots within muscles that are often tense or sore to touch. They can increase pain, limit motion, and decrease field performance. If go untreated they can get worse over time. topIs Dry Needling Painful?For most people there is little to no discomfort with the insertion of the needle. However, once the needle hits the trigger point, you will experience a "twitch response" which often feels like a quick muscle cramp. Following this technique muscle soreness can be felt up to 24-48 hrs. The application of heat and drinking plenty of fluids usually reduces the soreness. topIs it Acupuncture?No. Acupuncture and Dry Needling both use a sterile acupuncture needle in treatment. However, the methodologies, techniques, and education are very different. All of Schrier's Physical Therapist are certified and trained to perform Dry Needling in the state of Maryland. topWhat is Dry Needling Effective for?Running Injuries Neck and Shoulder Pain Low Back and Hip Pain |
