What is Dry Needling?Dry Needling in Burke, VA

The muscle twitch releases the trigger point allowing the muscle to relax, restoring the muscle function and decreasing the patients pain.

What Are The Benefits of Dry Needling? Dry Needling in Burke, VA

Dry needling is a very effective treatment for acute and chronic muscular pain.  The benefits of Dry Needling include a decrease in pain, increased mobility, and increased strength. Typically, positive results are apparent within 2-4 treatment sessions but can vary depending on the cause and duration of the symptoms and overall health of the patient.  Another benefit of dry needling is that we can reset the muscle with less pain and get a quicker response to treatment.
