Though famous for “cracking” the back during a manual spinal manipulation, chiropractors issue various other treatments like dry needling to help you feel your best.
Dry needling is offered at Pure Health Chiropractic and Wellness in Union, KY.
What is dry needling?
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles to treat the muscles in the body, based on modern Western medical knowledge of anatomy and neurophysiology. Dry needling can reduce muscular pain and myofascial dysfunction.
What can dry needling do for me?
The medical professional performing dry needling will insert needles into the skin and into the muscle at various trigger points. The needle itself is very thin, with most patients reporting they feel only a small prick as it is inserted. This treatment helps relieve pain and increase the range of motion in the muscle in question. Dry needling therapists have specialized training in the procedure and the body’s anatomy. After insertion into the muscle, the needles help decrease the transmission of pain signals and increase the pain relieving signals to the brain.
