Dry Needling

Dry needling is offered at Revere Health, which is a targeted treatment for neuromusculoskeletal pain. Also known as trigger point dry needling, this technique uses thin, monofilament needles to address myofascial trigger points—tight areas within muscle tissue that can cause pain and restrict movement.

How It Works
During a session, providers insert needles into or near identified trigger points, stimulating the muscles. This often leads to a twitch response, releasing tension and promoting blood flow to the area. Patients may experience immediate pain relief, though results can vary. Common conditions treated include:

Joint and disk issues
Tendonitis
Migraines and tension headaches
TMJ disorders
Whiplash
What to Expect
Before treatment, a thorough evaluation ensures dry needling is appropriate. During the session, needles may be inserted superficially or deeply and left in place for a few seconds to 20 minutes. While some discomfort is normal, most patients tolerate the procedure well.

Post-treatment soreness may occur, similar to muscle soreness after exercise. Staying hydrated and moving gently can aid recovery.

Conclusion
Revere Health’s dry needling service is an effective option for managing musculoskeletal pain and enhancing mobility. For those struggling with pain, discussing this treatment with a healthcare provider can be a vital step toward relief.
