Dry needling
Dry Needling Therapy in Carmel & Zionsville with Dr. Hunt
At Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic, we’re committed to offering cutting-edge therapies to support your journey to wellness. One effective therapy we specialize in is dry needling, an effective, minimally invasive treatment that targets muscle pain and tightness. Led by Dr. Drew Hunt, a certified exercise specialist, we provide tailored dry needling sessions to relieve discomfort, enhance mobility, and speed up healing for patients in the Greater Indianapolis area.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific “trigger points” or tight areas within the muscles to relieve tension and pain. While it may look similar to acupuncture, the two techniques are different. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice focused on restoring energy flow (Qi) along meridians, whereas dry needling is rooted in modern Western medicine and targets musculoskeletal dysfunction.
By stimulating these trigger points, dry needling encourages muscle relaxation, promotes better blood flow, and facilitates the body’s natural healing process—helping to reduce pain and improve movement. It is commonly used to treat sports injuries, chronic pain, and movement restrictions, making it an effective complement to other manual therapies like chiropractic care and physical therapy.
Why Choose Dry Needling?
If you're experiencing persistent pain, muscle tightness, or limited mobility, dry needling may be the solution you need. This technique is particularly beneficial for:
Releasing Muscle Tension: Dry needling helps release knots and tension in tight muscles, providing significant relief from pain and stiffness.
Improving Range of Motion: By addressing restrictions within the muscle fibers, dry needling can enhance mobility and make everyday movements easier and more comfortable.
Accelerating Healing: Increased blood flow from dry needling supports faster healing, making it a valuable tool for athletes and those recovering from injuries or chronic pain.
