Some Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Needling:
-
Is dry needling extremely painful?
Most people describe a dull ache with the occasional sharp pain during the treatment. After treatment, you may or may not experience soreness that feels similar to when you’ve completed a hard workout. -
Is dry needling safe?
There are no risks with dry needling that aren’t mitigated with safety precautions and a certified physical therapist. Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Erica are both certified dry needling practitioners. -
Who shouldn’t get dry needling?
Immunocompromised individuals, people with uncontrolled anticoagulants, or anyone with a local infection or active tumor near the painful area that needs to be treated.
If you have an autoimmune disorder, are pregnant, have diminished mental capacity, or have recent surgery, then you should talk to a physical therapist to weigh the benefits of dry needling for your situation. -
What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
Dry needling and acupuncture usually use the same size needles. During dry needling, the needles are stuck directly into the muscle knot or trigger point. In acupuncture, the needles are stuck along certain lines called “Meridians” and may not go into the sore muscles.
