So what is DRY NEEDLING anyway?
Do you ever wish you could click a “reset” button on your body?
Maybe then, it would start cooperating with you and you could move better without pain.
Well, lucky for you I have some good news and can offer you a solution……
It’s called: DRY NEEDLING
👉 Dry Needling is a treatment technique that uses the same tool an acupuncturist would use: a very fine, micro-sized needle that is inserted into a muscle.
❌I promise it’s not “woo-woo” or “witch-doctor voodoo”.
✅I had to take extra medical training to become certified. The techniques I learned use knowledge of muscles, nerves, and ligaments to determine the best way to perform a dry needling treatment for you.
Sooooo how does it work?
I like to compare it to when you get a scratch. Have you noticed that it takes a couple days for the scratch to: scab over, heal, and then eventually go away? When you get a scratch, it stimulates an internal chemical cascade to clear out the injured cells and then replenish the area with new, healthy ones.
In a nut shell, that is the healing cascade that dry needling also stimulates. The needle is so small that when it penetrates the skin, it causes a “micro-lesion” A.K.A it is not big enough to actually cause an injury but it IS big enough to stimulate the healing chemical cascade! This whole process can have very profound anti-inflammatory effect which is how it helps reduce pain and muscular tension!
Who would benefit from Dry Needling?
✅ You have muscular related pain. (like you threw your back out, your shoulder started hurting when you go to lift it, you have chronic pain, or pelvic floor related issues)
✅ You have a surgical scar. (INCLUDING c-section scar tissue!!) Think of a table cloth. Now if I were to grab one part of the table cloth in my hand- the rest of it would move! That is basically what scar tissue does in our bodies and it can effect adjacent body parts ability to move and function well.
✅ Your pain feels deeper than what massage can get to.
✅ You have headaches/migraines. I LOVE treating clients for migraines using Dry Needling. Why? Because it’s effective!!! I love that within just a couple of sessions, people start noticing that the intensity of pain lessens, the frequency of headaches goes way down, and they are able to take less (or eliminate) OTC medication!!
