Dry Needling
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
TMJ THERAPY
AT TRUE HEALTH
Chronically sore, achy muscles or stubborn trigger points?
Dry needling is the most targeted and effective treatment, that doesn't require an injection, at reducing muscle tension, calming overactive pain signals, and restoring normal movement patterns.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling therapy involves inserting a very thin, sterile needle into a tight area within the muscle, known as a trigger point. These trigger points are areas of muscle fibers that become “locked” due to factors like injury, overuse, or poor posture, causing pain, stiffness, and sometimes even referred pain in other parts of the body. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on the concept of energy flow and uses a holistic approach, dry needling focuses directly on relieving muscle dysfunction
Dry needling can address a wide variety of conditions that involve muscle pain, tightness, and dysfunction, such as:
-
Chronic or acute neck and back pain
-
Shoulder tension and rotator cuff issues
-
Headaches and migraines
-
TMJ (jaw pain and tension)
-
Sciatica
-
Hip and glute pain
-
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
-
Plantar fasciitis (foot pain)
-
Muscle strains from overuse or poor posture
-
Athletes who want to recover faster
