Dry needling has many known benefits to help people on their recovery journey, including:
● Pain Relief: Disrupts pain signals and releases endorphins
● Reduced Muscle Tension: Releases tight, knotted, or overactive muscles, allowing them to return to a normal resting state
● Improved Mobility: Increases flexibility and joint range of motion by decreasing tightness
● Faster Recovery and Healing: Promotes blood flow and encourages the body’s natural healing processes
● Drug-Free Alternative: Provides an alternative to medication for managing pain, headaches, and migraines
● Enhanced Performance: Helps athletes recover faster, reduces downtime, and prevents injury
Possible side effects of dry needling
The most common side effects of dry needling are very minor, and include things such as soreness, bruising, minor bleeding, fatigue, or pain during or after treatment. Some people experience a feeling of being woozy or faint, but this is short lasting and does not indicate any serious medical concerns. Pneumothorax is an extremely rare side effect. Additionally, you can minimize your risk of pneumothorax by only seeking dry needling services from therapists with the proper training and certification. Your physical therapist can answer any questions you may have about the possible side effects of dry needling.
