The Benefits of Dry Needling

It may sound scary to undergo dry needling, but it's a very safe procedure that can effectively treat your pain. The needles used in dry needling are extremely thin and similar to acupuncture needles. If you have pain anywhere in your body, it can be eased with dry needling. Visit Jones Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Evansville, IN, to see a doctor that is well-versed in dry needling.

Dry needling is sometimes called intramuscular stimulation. It is a way to stimulate certain trigger points. It can also be used in combination with other methods to treat specific conditions and symptoms. The treatment you receive will be tailored to your pain level, area of pain, and the underlying health problem. It can result in less pain and improve your quality of life.

Treating Conditions

The procedure can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions.

• whiplash
• tension headaches
• fibromyalgia
• joint pain
• sciatica
• tennis elbow
• bursitis
• lower back pain
• muscle injuries
• migraines
• chronic regional pain syndrome
• temporomandibular joint disorder
• sports injuries

Many other conditions cause pain that our chiropractor can treat with dry needling. Knotted muscles can occur when there is inflammation and irritation of the muscle tissue. It can be especially painful when those knots are in your neck, back, or shoulders. This can make certain movements, and even standing or sitting, quite painful. With dry needling, the needles are used to release these trigger points that are causing pain and inflammation. It can also result in an improved range of motion.
