Dry Needling
We provide a wide range of professional services to meet your needs. We promise to provide every service with a smile, and to your highest level of satisfaction.
01
Decrease Tension
Small, sterile needles inserted into the tissue cause the tissue to release via breaking up trigger points.
02
Decrease Pain
Through the release of tension, pain is often improved many say immediately!
03
Increase Blood Flow
Because we're putting a foreign object into the tissue, our body naturally rushes blood and other nutrients to the area to improve healing.
04
Improve Nerve Function
Dry needling stimulates nerve pathways and helps your body restore natural nerve function.
Stop Living In Pain!
Dry needling has been an amazing asset to many of our members. It helps them move better, perform better and live pain free! Dry needling is science backed and always performed by a physical therapist. If you've been thinking of giving dry needling a try, book some time with a physical therapist below!
Science Backed
Everything at Tucson Sports Recovery is backed by solid scientific evidence. We're not snake oil salespeople. Efficacy of dry needling is back by thousands of peer-reviewed studies that clearly highlight the benefits.
Minimally Invasive
The needles used in dry needling are tiny. So tiny they rarely break the tissue but rather separate the cells. Any blood is rare and if there is blood it's just a couple drops. We have plenty of clients who have a phobia of needles but insist on receiving dry needling because of its drastic benefits.
Experience the Power of Dry Needling at Tucson Sports Recovery
Dry needling is a mechanism for reducing trigger points throughout the body. The best way to think about it is like driving on a highway: If a slow car is in front of you, you pass it. In passing the slow car, you use, or overuse, another lane. But when these lanes become overused or too congested, breakdown occurs. This analogy shows how a breakdown is possible if you consider your muscle fibers as the highway lanes. The body can grow or shrink the muscle fibers it has, but it cannot add new "lanes" or remove existing ones, no matter how much traffic (strain) there is in your body.
With trigger point dry needling, we remove that barrier from the muscle fiber and allow all fibers to work in unison. This freedom enables muscles to work as intended, decreasing pain and increasing performance.
We can also stimulate a healing response with dry needling. We use a process called ''pistoning.'' Pistoning is when the needle is positioned in various areas to kick-start the healing process.
Dry needling uses a sterile acupuncture needle inserted through the skin into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and close to nerves to reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, and increase mobility immediately. Dry needling is not acupuncture but is instead based on a modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. This treatment provides an environment that enhances the body's healing ability, ultimately reducing pain.
