What is Integrative Dry Needling?
Integrative Dry Needling is a neurologically based needling technique and can reduce soft-tissue tension and pain, improves microcirculation, and normalizes physiological processes by inserting very thin needles into precise points throughout the body. It can have similar effects as acupuncture and utilizes the same diameter insertion needles that may go deeper into the affected area depending on what’s being addressed.
FAQ
What kinds of needles are used?
We use 40 gauge needles, which are nearly as fine as a strand of hair. Although most clients report insertion points are painless, there can be a some points that are more sensitive than others. Some pressure and other sensations may occur while the needles are resting in specific neuro-trigger points, muscles or fascia.
I have inflammation. Is IDN helpful for this?
IDN can help normalize both acute and chronic inflammation by triggering the release of the body’s natural biochemical response and support specific inflamed tissue.
Can IDN interfere with other care like chiropractic?
Clients have found that IDN in conjunction with their chiropractic treatments make for a more relaxed adjustment and reduced muscle tension.
Does massage therapy do the same thing for muscle release?
While both therapies are beneficial, they are different in approach and how the body may respond. IDN addresses the neurology of why a certain muscle is tight along with addressing the tightness itself.
