At Alpha Sports of College Station, TX, we understand how debilitating muscle pain can be, especially for the sports enthusiasts and athletes among us. That’s why we’re proud to have among our range of treatments a technique that’s gaining popularity for it’s effectiveness — Dry Needling.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a physical therapy technique, where thin needles are inserted into your muscles to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and increase your range of motion. It focuses on stimulating trigger points, the tight knots of muscle fiber that create pain.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
By inserting the needle into the trigger point, your body gets stimulated to heal and reduce the tension in the muscle.
Firstly, the needle causes a small lesion, forcing the muscle to repair itself. Secondly, it helps normalize the electrical charges in the muscle, leading to a reduction in muscle stiffness.
