Dry Needling

Dry needling is a valuable adjunct to your care plan, providing targeted relief for various conditions. Dr. Walters utilizes dry needling to address radicular pain, joint discomfort, unusual sensations, and migraines.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses on neuro-anatomy and modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. During the procedure, a fine filament needle is inserted into trigger points associated with your pain. This process creates micro lesions in pathological tissues, normalizes inflammatory responses, and mediates pain centrally. Ultimately, dry needling enhances the body's healing abilities and reduces discomfort.

What conditions can be treated?

Dry needling can effectively alleviate a range of conditions, including neck, back, and shoulder pain, arm discomfort (such as tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome), headaches (including migraines and tension-type headaches), jaw pain, buttock discomfort, and leg pain (such as sciatica and muscle strains).

Sterile Procedure

Rest assured, we only use sterile disposable needles to ensure your safety and well-being throughout the process.

Pain Management

While some patients may experience mild discomfort or twitching sensations during treatment, many find the process virtually painless. Dr. Walters prioritizes your comfort and therapeutic experience, making adjustments as needed to minimize any discomfort.

Post-Treatment Experience

Following dry needling, many patients experience immediate symptom relief and improved range of motion. Soreness may occur, typically lasting 1-2 days, and can be managed with heat, light massage, and movement. In rare cases, bruising may occur at the needling sites, but this is usually minor and resolves within several days.
