You can rely on our team to assess if dry needling is the right option for your overall health and well-being.
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique for relieving muscle pain and improving movement that targets myofascial trigger points, also known as “knots.” These trigger points are tight bands of muscle fibers that can cause localized or referred pain. Dry needling involves inserting thin, solid filiform needles into these trigger points to promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine and aims to restore energy flow along meridians, dry needling is based on modern Western medicine and focuses on musculoskeletal function.
Our team at Venturis Clinic offers dry needling in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area. Additionally, you will find that we take the time to answer any questions you have as well as strive to get to the root cause of the issue rather than simply treating the symptoms. This ensures you get well-rounded treatment that helps you improve your overall health and well-being. It’s also worth noting that we’re led by an experienced team with over 25 years of experience, giving you peace of mind that you’re in the best hands.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
When the needle is inserted into the trigger point, it causes a localized twitch response, which allows the muscle to relax, improves blood flow, and provides pain relief. This mechanical and neurological stimulation promotes the body’s natural healing processes by increasing endorphin production and improving chemical balance in muscle tissue. Chronic pain, muscle stiffness, sports injuries, and tension headaches are among the most common conditions treated with dry needling.
