Accelerate Your Recovery With Dry Needling
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENTWhat is Dry Needling?
At Omega Project, we understand that being sidelined by pain and injury is not an option for dedicated athletes and active individuals. Our specialized dry needling therapy is designed to get you back to your peak performance quickly and effectively. Dry needling is a cutting-edge technique used by physical therapists to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into trigger points within your muscles. These trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are hyperirritable spots that can cause pain, tightness, and limited range of motion.
How Dry Needling Works
When a needle is inserted into a trigger point, it creates a minor lesion in the muscle tissue. This micro-trauma stimulates a local healing response, increasing blood flow and the release of endogenous opioids, which are the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Additionally, the needle’s mechanical action helps to disrupt the contracted sarcomeres in the muscle, leading to a relaxation of the muscle fibers. This process effectively reduces pain, improves mobility, and restores normal muscle function.
Benefits of Dry Needling
Dry needling is used to enhance recovery and performance by targeting specific muscle groups. Some of the known benefits of this recovery technique include:
