What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a precise therapy where thin, sterile needles target muscular trigger points, easing neuromuscular pain and improving movement. This technique focuses on releasing tension and knots within the muscles to provide relief and enhance muscle relaxation. Typically, the procedure is comfortable and offers a relaxing experience to patients.
Dry needling is a flexible treatment option, well-suited for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Types Of Dry Needling We Offer
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)
The practitioners place the needle directly into the trigger point for immediate release and pain relief.
Superficial Dry Needling (SDN)
The practitioner inserts the needle superficially into the skin, right above the trigger point. This gentle, surface-level needling activates pain relief pathways in the nervous system and triggers the reflex analgesic mechanisms of the brain or spinal cord.
Acupuncture Ear Seeds
Introducing Acupuncture Ear Seeds, a needle-free auriculotherapy technique that leverages specific points on the ear that correspond to different body systems. This technique offers a holistic and complementary approach to managing headaches, back pain, and addiction, among other conditions.
By applying small, stick-on seeds instead of fine needles used in traditional acupuncture, our practitioners utilize Ear Seeds to provide a comfortable and effective alternative therapy. Discover how this method can complement your health regimen—contact our Smithtown office for more information at 631-708-3500.
