Trigger Point Dry Needling
Alleviate Muscle Pain With Breathe.’s Trigger Point Dry Needling
Comprehensive Physical Therapy Services for Women Across Central & Eastern Iowa
You know those stubborn muscle knots that do not go away no matter how much you rub, stretch, or try to relax them? Then trigger point dry needling may be for you.
After a full assessment and recommendation for this service from your physical therapist, a thin filiform needle is inserted directly into trigger points (muscle knot). This action causes your muscle to twitch, relieving the tension in the muscle and making the muscle soft and flexible again. Trigger point dry needling is followed by movement retraining and strengthening to maintain results.
Dry Needling is not offered as a stand alone service. It is always considered as part of a complete physical therapy treatment plan at Breathe. We offer this service in both West Des Moines, and more recently, North Liberty!
Benefits of Adding Trigger Point Dry Needling To Your Physical Therapy Treatment
Trigger Point Dry Needling can have an array of benefits outside of just relieving muscle knots or tension. This therapeutic method can help you with the following;
- Muscle relaxation
- Improve range of motion
- Reduce chronic pain

One of the best parts about this technique is that women often experience immediate relief after treatment.
