What is Dry Needling: The Top 3 Benefits
3 benefits:
Boosts Blood Flow
Relaxed Muscles
Full Range of Motion
If you’ve tried various ways to relieve your headaches or muscle tension, it might be time to try something that breaks the norm. Dry needling can be the perfect solution to any pain or numbness you’re experiencing.
But what is dry needling? Why do we—a chiropractic service—offer it as a service to our patients? Let’s take a look at the benefits you can expect if you invest in dry needling today.
What is Dry Needling?
To put it simply, dry needling is acupuncture with a medical intention. We find the “trigger point” in your muscle, then use dry needling to optimize blood flow.
As a result, the trigger point we’ve targeted will begin to relax, thus relieving any muscle tension you’ve been experiencing.
The 3 Main Benefits of Dry Needling
Now that you know what dry needling is, why should you try it? Here are the 3 primary benefits you can expect!
Boosts Blood Flow
Poor blood flow can compromise every muscle in your body, which is what causes you to experience pain, tingling sensations, or even numbness.
Dry needling is used to pinpoint the troubled area, then boost your body’s natural blood flow.
The results will be quicker recovery, less chronic pain, and higher energy levels.
Contrary to popular belief, this procedure is non-invasive and has minimal pain. It hurts even less than getting a shot at the doctor!
Relaxed Muscles
Too often, our muscles are left to fend for themselves once they experience tension due to stress. Dry needling can help relieve that area and increase oxygen to the muscle.
Believe it or not, pain reduction isn’t the only benefit of relaxing the muscle. You can also look forward to things like:
Reducing blood pressure
Better sleep each night
Less anxiety in your lifestyle
Boosted digestion

Full Range of Motion
Have you noticed that certain body parts don’t reach as far back or as far forward as they used to? This is a direct effect of muscle tension.
By releasing the trigger point with dry needling, you can look forward to the benefits of full range of motion, such as:
No more feeling “stiff” or “stuck”
Increased muscle strength
Reduced muscle imbalance
Less chance of injury
In addition to dry needling, we’ll also help you learn about proper stretching routines aimed at improving your posture and range of motion. You’ll notice the difference immediately!
