FAQ Friday 👇

“Does Dry Needling hurt?”

Most people are surprised to find it doesn’t hurt much. The needles used are very thin, solid, and flexible. You might feel a quick pinch, followed by a brief muscle twitch or a deep ache. That’s actually a good sign it’s working.

Dry needling helps:
✅ Reduce muscle tightness
✅ Improve mobility
✅ Decrease pain

It’s a safe, effective technique used by our trained physical therapists to target the root of your discomfort.

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle pain, this could be a great option for you. Contact us at (479) 300-2081 or request an appointment https://nuvi.me/t5iayx!
