Enhancing Chiropractic Care with Dry Needling
Chiropractic adjustments improve joint alignment and support nervous system function. Dry needling complements this by directly releasing deep muscle tension. Together, they create faster, longer-lasting relief.
We also offer other effective ways to release muscle knots:
Low-Level Laser Therapy – a painless, needle-free method that targets the same trigger points.
Manual Trigger Point Therapy – uses hands or tools to press and release muscle tension.
How Dry Needling Helps
Dry needling targets overactive or tight muscles to help them relax. This improves circulation, reduces spasms, and speeds healing. It also disrupts pain signals, easing discomfort and restoring natural movement—especially when combined with chiropractic care.
Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture
While both use fine needles, dry needling is based on Western medicine and focuses on treating muscle-related pain. In contrast, acupuncture follows traditional Chinese principles and treats a broader range of health concerns through energy meridians.
Interestingly, many trigger points used in dry needling overlap with acupuncture points. However, the purpose and approach are different.
Is It Right for You?
Everyone responds differently to treatment. That’s why we tailor care using a mix of needling, laser, or manual techniques. By combining these with chiropractic care, we can reduce pain more effectively, improve mobility, and help you get back to doing what you enjoy—without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
