Benefits of dry needling
There are many musculoskeletal conditions that can be helped by dry needling.
Prairie Rehabilitation in South Dakota and Minnesota have also found that the vast majority of our patients reached the pain-free outcomes they were looking for when our conventional exercise-based therapies are combined with dry needling.
Our physical therapists will let you know if it is the appropriate treatment for you, but only after performing a thorough assessment.
Does this hurt?
When undergoing dry needling procedures, most of our patients report feeling little or no pain.
Our highly trained physical therapists know how to make the procedure as painless as possible, but with the application of the needle, some patients can still experience a “twitch response.”
This is equivalent to a rapid cramp or ache in the muscle. Sometimes, patients report feeling some muscle soreness during the 24-48 hours after dry needling, which typically goes away on its own.
By applying ice and/or heat packs and drinking plenty of fluids, soreness from dry needling can be treated at home.
How does this relieve pain?
Dry needling treatment methods are used by our licensed South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapists as a way to relieve pain.
While it is a common misconception, it is not acupuncture. It is based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. While there are some similarities, dry needling is strictly based on Western medicine principles and research.
When performing this, the physical therapist will insert a sterile needle through the skin, into the underlying tendons, ligaments, or muscles that have been affected, in order to relieve pain, decrease muscle tension, and improve mobility.
It simply promotes an environment that enhances the body’s ability to heal, ultimately reducing pain in the process.
