Functional Dry Needling In Madison, WI

Many People Have Heard About Dry Needling but Are Unsure What It Is or How It May Help Them.

What Exactly Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a tried-and-true therapy method that includes inserting tiny sterilized needles into sore muscle knots (trigger points). We numb the painful spots using needles. This can help to “reset” the muscles to their original state before you had a problem in that location.
How Is It Distinct From Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a treatment used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, whereas Dry Needling is a modern neuromuscular approach used by Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and even some doctors.

Acupuncture is concerned with regulating energy flow or “life force,” also known as “chi or qi” (“chee”), whereas Dry Needling is concerned with traditional orthopedic assessment methods such as muscle tone, strength, joint range of motion, and neuromuscular symptoms.

Although the needles used in acupuncture and dry needling are nearly identical, the assessments, procedures, and philosophies are significantly different.

What Is the Advantage of Dry Needling?

Pain Relieving
Dry needling has been proven to induce neurophysiological changes that alleviate pain.
Enhanced Range of Motion
Dry Needling also helps muscles relax and “reset” to their normal state.
Boost Blood Flow
Dry needling has been demonstrated to stimulate blood flow, which aids in healing.
Muscle Function Enhancement

How Can Dry Needling Help Me Heal From An Injury Faster?

When you push yourself to your limits as a runner or athlete, you build up a lot of muscle tension.

Dry needling relaxes tense muscles, aids in the recovery of injuries, and even prepares you for large races or training sessions. Runners and sportsmen can benefit greatly from dry needling.

How Can It Benefit Runners and Athletes?

Dry needling promotes the body’s natural healing mechanism. It accomplishes this by releasing trigger points that build in the body after an injury.

It also improves blood flow to the affected area of the body, which is essential for healing and recovery. Dry needling can significantly accelerate your healing process.
