Dry Needling

Dry needling is a specialized therapy that targets tight muscles and trigger points in the body. It involves using thin, sterile needles to penetrate the skin and reach the underlying muscle tissue. The goal of dry needling is to release tension, reduce pain, and improve overall muscle function.

At Tru Health, dry needling is performed by trained professionals who are skilled in this specialized technique. During a session, your therapist will insert thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points in your muscles. These needles are very fine and usually cause minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight twitch or ache as the muscle releases tension.

Each session is tailored to your needs, focusing on the areas where you feel the most pain or tightness. Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment required. Your therapist will guide you through the process and ensure you feel comfortable at every step.

Dry needling is safe when performed by a trained professional, and we follow strict safety protocols to minimize any risks.

Dry needling is highly effective for treating a variety of musculoskeletal issues.

This therapy can also be combined with other treatments, such as manual manipulation and physical therapy, to create a comprehensive care plan for your recovery.

Dry needling is a great option for a wide range of individuals, including:

• Athletes: Whether you are dealing with an injury or want to improve muscle function, dry needling can help you recover faster and perform better.
• Chronic Pain Sufferers: Those with long-term conditions like arthritis, lower back pain, or neck pain often find relief with dry needling.
• Injury Recovery Patients: If you’re recovering from a recent injury, dry needling can help restore mobility, reduce pain, and speed up your healing process.

While dry needling is generally safe for most people, it may not be recommended for everyone. If you have certain health conditions, such as a bleeding disorder or are pregnant, your therapist will discuss alternative treatment options. It is always best to consult your doctor before starting any new therapy.
