Dry Needles

Dry Needles

Short description

Dry Needling is a treatment technique used by acupuncturists, physical therapists, and other trained healthcare providers to relieve muscle pain and improve movement. It focuses on myofascial trigger points—tight, sensitive muscle knots that can cause pain and limit mobility. The term myofascial combines “myo,” meaning muscle, and fascia, the thin connective tissue surrounding muscles. Trigger points often feel sore when pressed and can cause pain not only in the area but also in other parts of the body, known as referred pain. Dynasty Clinic uses dry needles—thin, solid, sterile needles without any medication. This is why the method is called “dry” needling. It differs from trigger point injections, which involve injecting medicine and are typically done by a physician. Dry needling is usually part of a complete pain relief plan that may also include stretching, massage, or exercise therapy. It helps reduce muscle tightness, improve blood flow, and ease both local and referred pain—supporting better movement and overall comfort.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

During dry needling, a provider inserts very thin, sterile needles into the skin and muscles. These dry needles go directly into the trigger points causing pain or stiffness. The needles help release tension in the muscle, improve blood flow, and reduce pain signals to the brain. This technique is called “dry” because no medicine or fluid is injected — just the needle itself creates the therapeutic effect.

Who Shouldn’t Get Dry Needling Treatments?

While dry needling is safe for most people, it’s not for everyone. You should avoid dry needling if you:

  • Are pregnant (unless cleared by your doctor)
  • Have a fear of needles
  • Have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners
  • Have an infection in the treatment area
  • Are not comfortable with the technique

Always talk to your provider to see if dry needling is right for you.

What to expect during treatment

What to Expect During Dry Needles Treatment at Dynasty Clinic

  1. Initial Consultation
    Your session will begin with a consultation where our practitioner assesses your condition, discusses your symptoms, and identifies trigger points to target.
  2. Comfortable Setting
    You’ll relax in a comfortable, calm environment. The area being treated will be exposed to ensure easy access for the dry needling technique.
  3. Needle Insertion
    Thin, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific trigger points in your muscles. You may feel a slight discomfort or a muscle twitch as the needle enters, which is a sign that the treatment is effective.
  4. Sensation During Treatment
    Some patients feel a mild ache, heaviness, or a slight soreness in the treated areas. This is typically temporary and can be a sign of muscle release.
  5. Treatment Duration
    A session typically lasts between 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated and the severity of the issue.
  6. Post-Treatment Experience
    Afterward, you may experience some soreness or slight bruising, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. This discomfort usually disappears within 24 to 48 hours.
  7. Follow-Up Care
    Your practitioner may provide suggestions for post-treatment care, like applying heat or gentle stretching to enhance the effects and speed recovery.

Dry Needles treatment is an effective and relatively quick process designed to help alleviate muscle pain and discomfort, restoring your mobility and well-being.

Procedure Details

What Happens Before a Dry Needling Treatment?

Before your first treatment, your provider at Dynasty will:

  • Review your medical history
  • Perform a physical exam
  • Explain how dry needling works
  • Answer your questions

On treatment day, wear loose and comfortable clothes. We’ll make sure the treatment area is easy to access. If needed, we’ll provide a gown or covering for your comfort and privacy.

What Happens During a Dry Needling Treatment?

Here’s what to expect:

  1. We take you to a private room or curtained section.
  2. Your provider will clean the skin and find the trigger point.
  3. They will gently insert a dry needle into the muscle using a guide tube.
  4. Techniques vary:

    • Superficial: The needle goes just under the skin.
    • Deep: The needle reaches deeper into the muscle.
  5. Needles may stay in for 2 seconds to 20 minutes.
  6. We may use just one needle at first or more depending on your needs.
  7. You might feel a twitch or soreness — that’s normal and shows your muscle is reacting.

What Happens After a Dry Needling Procedure?

After the treatment:

  • Your provider removes the needles and checks your skin.
  • You’ll be asked to get up slowly. If you feel dizzy, we’ll let you rest.
  • Drink plenty of water after the session.
  • Mild soreness or bruising is normal and can last 24 to 36 hours.

Staying active after the treatment helps your body recover and boosts the benefits of dry needling.

Post-treatment care

Post-Treatment Care for Dry Needles at Dynasty Clinic

  1. Stay Hydrated
    Drink plenty of water following your treatment to help flush out toxins and keep your muscles hydrated for optimal recovery.
  2. Rest
    Give your body time to heal. Avoid intense physical activity or exercise for the first 24–48 hours after treatment to allow the muscle tissue to recover.
  3. Apply Heat or Ice
    Depending on your practitioner’s advice, applying a heat pad or ice pack can help reduce any residual soreness or inflammation in treated areas.
  4. Gentle Stretching
    Light stretching can be beneficial, but avoid any aggressive movements or overexertion. Follow any specific stretches your practitioner suggests for further muscle relaxation.
  5. Mild Discomfort Is Normal
    You may experience some soreness or bruising in the treated areas. This is normal and should resolve within 24 to 48 hours. If the discomfort persists, consult your practitioner.
  6. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
    Stay away from alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours after treatment, as they can interfere with the healing process.
  7. Follow-up Sessions
    For ongoing relief, additional dry needling sessions may be recommended. Your practitioner will guide you on when to return for follow-up treatments.

Taking proper care after your dry needling session ensures that you get the best results and promotes your body’s healing and recovery.
