What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a technique used by physical therapists that requires needles going directly into the muscle, tendon, fascia or  joints to relieve pain, stimulate healing and/or restore natural balance to tissues. This is done by using a needle without any medicine or other injectable substance, and inserting it into a specific area that is the cause of the symptoms.  While it might sound scary and different, this method is very effective when done by a team of professionals who have mastered dry needling, like those at Lyons Physical Therapy.

Benefits of Dry Needling

Dry needling can be a great option for those who are in need of pain relief. Dry Needling is a safe and effective tool used by PT's and physicians.  In randomized control studies, it has proven successful for the treatment of a variety of Western Medical diagnoses such as knee arthritis, plantar fasciitis, cervico-genic headaches, low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, TMJ disorders, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel and more.  While they are a wide array of traditional physical therapy techniques that are beneficial as well, DN is a alternative method that is trending due to its ability to get deep in the source of the problem and provide significant pain control.
