Visit Sports Rehabilitation Specialists near Southlake for affordable and effective dry needling pain relief treatments.

One of the most popular techniques we use for pain relief is dry needling. Our friendly, private clinic has been serving the local community for over 20 years with quality physical therapy care.

Soothe Tight Muscles

Dry needling sounds more painful than it is. Some patients report not even feeling the needle at all. Solid filament needles are inserted into the muscle and manipulated to cause a twitch and subsequent relaxation of the muscle. Good candidates for this type of treatment are patients who have myofascial pain, or pain associated with muscle inflammation. This type of pain can cause sensory and motor issues due to the hypercontracted muscle tissue. The muscle tightness also causes a reduced range of stretch. The muscle is unable to relax normally, and it causes a trigger point. Southlake dry needling trigger point procedures involve applying pressure to the trigger points, or knots to reduce, diffuse and eliminate the pain. The needle disrupts the tight muscle bands and loosens them up.

Dry Needling For Fibromyalgia

At SRS near Southlake we use dry needling trigger point therapy for bicep tendonitis pain relief, shoulder pain relief, foot pain relief, and for fibromyalgia. This type of therapy is very beneficial for several different types of diagnoses or pain symptoms. Our Southlake dry needling pain relief treatments are also a great companion to physical therapy. Combining both methods of treatment can produce more effective results.

A common misconception is that our dry needling services nearSouthlake are essentially the same as acupuncture. Acupuncture is an eastern medicine practice, whereas dry needling is a western, evidence-based practice. Both treatments use very thin, stainless steel needles that are inserted into the skin. This is the only similarity in the two. Dry needling is used to stimulate irritated muscles to relieve spasms. Some common techniques of dry needling are referred to as poisoning or sparrow pecking. With these techniques, the needles do not stay in the skin for very long. They only remain long enough to activate the trigger points, and then they are removed. The most common side effects of dry needling are temporary soreness, bruising, and in some instances minor bleeding.
