In the search for a solution to muscle problems and reduce pain, more and more people are turning to techniques such as Dry Needling. In MOXIE Body Recovery Studio, this treatment is becoming increasingly popular as it helps to effectively relieve pain. But many wonder – is Dry Needling a painful treatment?
What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a treatment that uses thin, sterile needles to stimulate the so-called trigger points in the muscles and reduce tension. It can be applied as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other recovery techniques. The goal in MOXIE is clear - to get rid of your pain and restore your mobility. Dry Needling allows us to ‘deep’ stimulate and relax the muscle, which is almost impossible to achieve with classic ‘surface’ techniques.
Does the treatment hurt?
One of the most frequently asked questions is: “How much does Dry Needling hurt?”. Our clients mostly describe this treatment as painless with the possibility of mild discomfort, depending on the condition of the muscles. If we treat an inflamed or tense muscle, it is possible to feel instant discomfort, but it is mostly short-lived. Pain is rated on a scale of 1 to 10, and most clients report low levels of pain.
Although at first somewhat frightening due to the fact that needles are used as the main means of work, Dry Needling is completely safe and in most cases painless treatment. Needles used in the work are only slightly thicker than human hair, and they are even 10 times thinner than the classic injection needle.
Adaptation of treatment to each client
At MOXIE Body Recovery Studio, each treatment is tailored to the diagnosis and needs of the client. Pre-treatment consultations allow us to assess the condition in detail and decide on the best approach. Our goal is to make every client feel comfortable and aware of all the steps during the treatment. That is why education plays a major role – we provide all the necessary information about the procedure, potential feelings during the treatment and advise on how to behave after the treatment.
What can you expect from Dry Needling?
Treatment with Dry Needling usually lasts up to 30 minutes, but depending on the diagnosis and condition of patients and other treatments we have done, it can last even shorter. Before, but also during the treatment itself, you will receive detailed instructions on how to minimize discomfort and we will answer all your questions and concerns you have about the treatment itself. I understand the fact that the vast majority of people are somehow afraid of needles and I promise to be gentle. Clients often come with the fear that the treatment will be extremely painful, but in the end most of them are positively surprised. Many point out that, although they felt mild discomfort during the treatment, the feeling of relief and reduction of pain exceeds their expectations.
Customer feedback
Almost every other client chooses Dry Needling as a method of recovery. Based on feedback, most report a significant reduction in pain and improvement in functionality after just one or several treatments. Also, they note that the treatment was not as painful as they originally thought, but that they felt only occasional discomfort.
Dry Needling is a technique that, although it can cause mild discomfort in some clients, offers an effective solution for long-term pain relief. At MOXIE Body Recovery Studio, each treatment is carefully tailored to make it as comfortable and effective as possible. If you are looking for a method that will help you get rid of pain, Dry Needling can be the right choice for you.
