Dry Needling IN Falls Church

Dry needling is a treatment technique used at our Falls Church chiropractic clinic to restore muscle function and eliminate muscle pain. A sterile, filiform needle is inserted into a muscle to cause the “release” of a trigger point.

It is a safe, low-cost modality that has minimal side effects when performed by a trained practitioner. Dry needling works best when combined with other conservative treatments such as therapeutic exercise and manipulations but is also an effective treatment by itself.
