How Dry Needling Can Enhance Your Chiropractic Care

At Flex Spinal, we understand that effective care often means addressing more than just the joints of the spine. Muscles play a crucial role in supporting and moving the spine, and when they become tight, overworked, or injured, they can place added stress on restricted joints and delay recovery.

A practitioner carefully inserts thin needles into the skin during a dry needling session, a technique used to relieve muscle tension and pain.

Dry needling is a safe and effective therapy that works by targeting these tense or overactive muscles. Using fine, sterile needles, this technique helps release muscle knots, reduce pain, and restore normal movement. When combined with chiropractic care, dry needling can:

• Relieve muscular tension around restricted or injured joints

• Improve flexibility and range of motion

• Support the effectiveness of spinal adjustments

• Promote faster recovery and longer-lasting results

At Flex Spinal, Dr Colin Clarey is highly trained in dry needling therapy and integrates it where appropriate into chiropractic care.
