Get Relief, Get Moving: The Benefits of Dry Needle Therapy
If you’ve been battling muscle pain, tightness, or an injury that just won’t quit, it might be time to explore dry needle therapy—a modern technique that’s helping our patients at Get Right Physical Therapy Carmel find fast, lasting relief.
You may have heard of dry needling or even mistaken it for acupuncture. While both use similar tools, dry needling is a science-backed, Western medicine approach focused on one thing: helping you move better and feel better.
What Is Dry Needle Therapy?
Dry needling targets trigger points—those tight knots in your muscles that can cause pain, restrict motion, or refer discomfort to other parts of your body. Using thin, sterile needles (no medication or injection involved), we stimulate those trigger points to release tension, reduce pain, and restore healthy muscle function.
At Get Right Physical Therapy, dry needling is one of the many powerful tools we use to help you get back to doing what you love—whether that’s chasing your kids, training for a race, or simply living without pain.
How Dry Needling Helps You “Get Right”
Relieves Muscle Tension and Pain
Dry needling helps “reset” tight or overworked muscles by encouraging them to relax, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation—so you feel better, faster.
Improves Range of Motion
Tight muscles limit your ability to move. By releasing trigger points, dry needling can help restore flexibility and range of motion, especially important for athletes and post-injury recovery.
Speeds Up Recovery
Injuries don’t have to linger. Dry needling can accelerate healing by stimulating your body’s natural repair processes and breaking the cycle of pain and stiffness.
Targets Chronic and Hard-to-Treat Pain
From low back and neck pain to migraines, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis, dry needling is especially effective at treating myofascial pain—those stubborn areas that don’t respond well to stretching or massage alone.
Enhances Athletic Performance
Athletes at all levels use dry needling as part of their recovery and maintenance routine. At Get Right, we help you stay ahead of injuries and bounce back stronger.
What to Expect
Dry needling is quick and effective—most sessions last between 15 and 30 minutes. You may feel a slight twitch or mild soreness after treatment, but most patients report feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile almost immediately.
And the best part? We combine dry needling with customized physical therapy plans designed specifically for your goals—so you’re not just treating symptoms, you’re building lasting results.
Ready to Feel Better, Faster?
Whether you’re recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or just trying to stay at the top of your game, dry needle therapy at Get Right Physical Therapy might be exactly what you need.
