Description: VC Physical Therapy & Dry Needling in Austin, Texas
Dry needling is an evidence-supported and efficient way to decrease pain , improve range of motion , restore mobility and reduce injury recovery time .
Dry needling is a medical procedure using a solid fine filament (needle) to penetrate the skin in order to treat myofascial trigger points, muscle spasms, or dysfunctional tissue. Licensed physical therapists use these needles to mechanically stimulate muscles, tendons, or fascia. It is used for effectively reducing acute and chronic pain, as well as improving motor performance, range of motion, and strength.
Dry needling is not acupuncture, although the tools used are the same. Acupuncture is a holistic treatment based off the traditional Chinese Meridian energy system. Dry needling is a mechanical treatment based on current Western anatomic, biomechanical, and neurologic understandings of the body.
