Dry Needling Therapy in Suwanee, GA

We get it--the idea of needles can produce anxiety, and you may be nervous about deciding whether you want to try dry needling therapy as a part of your wellness routine. Most people find that dry needling is painless, and that they experience pain relief and increased mobility as a result of the dry needling process.

Dry needling is also known as trigger point therapy. A trigger point is a tight muscle point that can cause issues with your range of motion. You may experience pain or tightness in and around a trigger point. In many cases, dry needling can decrease muscle tightness when applied to a trigger point, resulting in pain relief.

Usually, dry needling therapy is used in conjunction with other types of physical therapy to help patients regain mobility and experience pain relief. Many people prefer dry needling to more invasive or chemical methods of pain relief, as the treatment is safe, simple, and typically does not have any side effects.

Dry needling can be used in a number of areas of the body, including the shoulders, back, hips, heels, and neck. If you're experiencing pain and are curious about whether dry needling is a good fit for you, talk with your physical therapist about whether it makes sense to incorporate this type of treatment into your overall wellness plan.
