Q: What is dry needling and how does it work?

Dry needling is a modern treatment technique that uses thin filiform needles to target myofascial trigger points and muscle knots. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses specifically on releasing tight muscle bands, improving blood flow, and stimulating the body's natural healing response for rapid pain relief and improved function. Our Birmingham clinic uses evidence-based techniques performed by licensed physical therapists.

Q: Is dry needling painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during dry needling. When the needle hits a trigger point, you may feel a brief muscle twitch or cramping sensation, which is actually a good sign that we've found the problem area. This sensation typically lasts only a few seconds, followed by a feeling of muscle release and relaxation. Our expert therapists use the thinnest needles available to minimize any discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is dry needling different from acupuncture?

While both use thin needles, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and specifically targets trigger points and tight muscles. Acupuncture follows Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and focuses on energy meridians. Dry needling aims for a local twitch response in the muscle, while acupuncture seeks to balance energy flow.

Is dry needling painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during insertion. When the needle hits a trigger point, you may feel a brief muscle twitch or cramping sensation, which is actually a good sign that we've found the problem area. This sensation typically lasts only a few seconds, followed by a feeling of muscle release and relaxation.

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients experience immediate improvement in pain and range of motion after their first session. However, lasting results typically require 3-6 sessions depending on the chronicity and severity of your condition. Your practitioner will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
