Dry Needling

Relieve Pain with Effective Dry Needling in Summerlin, Nevada by Experienced Physical Therapists

Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use at Steadfast Physical Therapy (allowed by the state of Nevada) to treat pain and movement impairments. Our certified physical therapist inserts a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, into areas of the muscle. The needle causes an electrical current that triggers the muscle to contract. This contraction of the muscle releases “trigger points” and allows the muscle to return to its normal length. The result is temporary pain relief and improved mobility.

Finding A Skilled Physical Therapist In Las Vegas That Does Dry Needling Can Be Difficult.

We are one of not the only physical therapy clinics in Summerlin Nevada that offers dry needling. The therapist uses ultrasound or electrical stimulation when needling a specific area to help isolate and identify any trigger points. Ultrasound technology provides real-time images of the tissue, allowing for greater precision when needling. Electrical stimulation can be used to assess motor control as well as muscle function in a specific area.

Needling is an effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal injuries, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches. If you have not had success with other treatments such as medication or physical therapy, dry needling may offer you additional relief from your symptoms without the side effects of medication or surgery.

Many of our regular patients at Steadfast Performance Therapy only experience slight discomfort to no pain at all. If the needling is painful, the therapist will stop and use other techniques to achieve the desired results.

Benefits of Dry Needling

The benefits of dry needling are numerous. Your body responds in a way that can help you feel better and move better. These responses include:

Stimulating muscle healing and repair – increasing blood flow to injured areas, activating the immune system to remove metabolic waste products from muscles, and promoting faster recovery from muscle injuries.

Increasing blood flow to injured areas activates the immune system to remove metabolic waste products from muscles and promotes faster recovery from muscle injuries. Reduces pain – reduces pain signals sent to your brain by activating “trigger points” in your muscles. This causes a release of endorphins which block pain receptors in your brain. It also increases blood flow to injured areas, which brings nutrients for healing into your tissues. In addition, it helps restore normal muscle function, which helps reduce pain caused by abnormal muscle tension
