Most patients describe dry needling as a quick pinch followed by immediate relief. The needles are very thin (much thinner than a shot), and many people feel muscle tension release during the treatment. Some soreness may occur for 24-48 hours afterward, similar to post-workout muscle fatigue, but this is a normal part of the healing process.
-
While both use thin needles, dry needling is a Western medicine technique focused on releasing myofascial trigger points and improving muscle function. It's based on anatomy and neuromuscular physiology, whereas acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on energy meridians. At Rehab With Roni, our dry needling treatments are integrated into evidence-based physical therapy sessions.
