Dry Needling

Lifecare Rehabilitation provides innovative and effective treatment to those seeking better well-being. Specialized services offered at Lifecare Rehab include dry needling; a type of treatment that is becoming increasingly popular to address pain and muscle recovery.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling refers to the method of injecting small, thin needles into defined specific trigger points found in muscles to stimulate relief through relaxation. Sometimes, such points are tightened portions of fibers with muscle pain that may bring along stiffness or ache. Targeted dry needling aims at unlocking these trigger areas, bringing with it restoration, increased blood circulation, and better healing.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

The needles inserted into the trigger points cause a micro-trauma that induces a healing response from the body. Thus, there is a gradual decrease in pain and inflammation, along with an increase in range of motion and flexibility. Even many of the patients have reported that they feel instant relief immediately after a session, whereas other patients may experience improvement in the condition gradually with time.

Benefits of Dry Needling
