Dry Needling in Denton
When an injury occurs from repetitive use or acute trauma, inflammation will be produced from the damaged tissues. Your body will also begin guarding by creating tension in surrounding musculature in order to protect and compensate for the injury. This contracture restricts blood flow and oxygen to the muscle tissue.
What to Expect
During your dry needling session, we will use small, solid filament needles. These needles are safely placed into specific areas of the body, releasing the tightness in your muscles by increasing blood flow and turning off pain receptors. Our doctors love this technique because it results in the deepest tissue release and allows for improvements in both pain and movement. Patients sometimes report feeling improvements after just one session, though chronic problems will likely take a few visits.
