If you've ever wondered how often you should get dry needling, you're not alone! Many of our patients ask whether this therapy is something they need to do frequently or just occasionally to see results.
Dry needling is a great tool for addressing tight, dysfunctional muscles and promoting faster recovery. But unlike some treatments that require constant upkeep, dry needling works by stimulating the body's natural healing process. For acute muscle tightness or pain, a few sessions over a couple of weeks can yield significant relief. And for those who lead highly active lifestyles—like athletes training for a marathon—occasional sessions might be part of a smart maintenance routine.
We also explore an advanced technique that pairs dry needling with electrical stimulation for those dealing with chronic tension or stubborn pain. This method can enhance the effectiveness of treatment and help get even better results.
If you're curious about whether dry needling is right for you or how often you should include it in your care routine, be sure to check out our latest video! It’s packed with valuable insights to help you make the most of this therapy.
