Dry Needling Explained
Dry needling, also known as trigger point or functional dry needling, is a technique that uses thin, solid needles to target tight spots within the muscles called trigger points. These trigger points occur when muscle fibers become stuck in a contracted or shortened position, often referred to as “knots”. Trigger points can arise from a number of scenarios ranging from prolonged inactivity to muscle strain to poor posture and lead to localized pain, tissue irritation, and resulting mobility impairments.
At Movement Solutions here in Greenville, SC, dry needling is used to release muscle adhesions and improve circulation, pain, and muscle function. Unlike injections, these needles are “dry” and although they contain no medications, can have a profound healing effect on the muscle and your pain perception. E-dry needling takes this approach one step further by adding gentle electrical stimulation to the needles, which enhances the treatment’s effectiveness, speeds up recovery, and delivers more advanced results.
Dry Needling + Movement Therapy: The Ultimate Combo for Results
Dry needling is a powerful tool that often delivers impressive, near-instant relief from pain and muscle tension. But on its own, it’s not a complete solution. To create lasting change and prevent symptoms from returning, we focus on addressing the root cause of your discomfort.
At Movement Solutions, we combine dry needling with proven techniques like joint manipulation, soft tissue mobilization, corrective exercises, and movement retraining. This integrated approach relieves pain, restores function, improves mobility, and helps you move with confidence—so you can enjoy long-term relief and sustainable results.
