Dry Needling at River Chiropractic & Wellness
Dry needling is a very effective technique for releasing muscle tension. Like acupuncture, it uses very fine needles. Instead of placing needles in various acupuncture points along a meridian as in acupuncture, the needles are placed at points over knotted or tender muscles, instantly relieving pain and tenderness.
How It Works
An ultra-fine needle is placed in the skin at the painful area. The needle causes a micro-spasm in the affected muscle, which then releases the knot so that the knot smooths out. As a result, blood flow to the area is increased, which promotes healing, and most patients experience pain relief quickly.
