Frequently Asked Questions

Dry needling is a technique performed by physical therapists where thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points within the muscle tissue, known as trigger points. These trigger points are areas of tight muscle bands that can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

The needle insertion into the muscle may cause cramping, twitching, or achiness, but most patients describe the overall experience as tolerable

Side effects are generally minimal and may include mild soreness, bruising, or slight bleeding at the needle insertion site.

While both techniques involve the use of needles, dry needling is performed by physical therapists and focuses on treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that addresses a broader range of health concerns.

The number of sessions will vary depending on your individual condition and treatment goals. Your physical therapist will create a personalized treatment plan and discuss the expected number of sessions.
