Care
What it is:
Very thin needles are placed into tight or tender areas of muscle, called trigger points. No medicine is injected.
When we may recommend it:
Your exam shows tender trigger points
Muscle tenderness or tightness is limiting your movement
Know What to Expect
What to expect:
You may feel a brief twitch or ache in the muscle. Mild soreness or small bruises can occur for a day or two.
How we check progress:
Tenderness level [CONFIRM: pressure algometer], range of motion and pain rating, compared with your baseline.
What Adjustments Can and Cannot Do
What it can and cannot do:
Dry needling may help reduce muscle tenderness and improve movement for some patients, mainly alongside exercise. It is not used on its own as a full plan.
Clear, realistic information about chiropractic care.
When it may not be right for you
We may avoid it if you have a fear of needles, take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, are pregnant, or have a skin infection in the area.
