At PION3ER PT in Houston, we often incorporate dry needling into our sessions when appropriate. Dry needling can enhance our ability to treat a variety of conditions and help patients achieve optimal recovery.

Understanding Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points within the muscles. These points are often the source of pain specific to what the patient is dealing with.

How Dry Needling Works

The needles stimulate the muscle tissue, which helps to release tightness, reduce pain, and improve blood flow. We also know that dry needling can help to calm the central nervous system down. When dealing with pain, the body can often go into a protective mode that can result in tightness and pain throughout various areas of the body. Dry needling is another tool we are able to use that can lead to significant relief for patients suffering from chronic pain or acute injuries.

Dry Needling & Exercise

Research shows that dry needling is best utilized when combined with exercise. Many PT clinics will do dry needling alone, but at PIONE3R, our priority is to make you an active part of your care. By teaching you exercises to follow the dry needlind, we often see much more change for the LONG term!
