Relieve Pain and Move Better with Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a targeted, science-based therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to release trigger points—tight knots in muscles that cause pain and stiffness. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy flow, Dry Needling addresses musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction by improving blood flow and restoring muscle function.

Here’s how it works: Dr. Knapton inserts a needle into the trigger point which:

Releases muscle tension
Boosts circulation
Promotes faster healing

At Utah Valley Chiropractic in Pleasant Grove, we take it a step further with electrical stimulation (ESTIM), delivering currents through the needles to relax muscles and improve nerve function. This advanced approach can even support healing in areas with limited blood flow, like meniscus tears or arthritis, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery. Ready to experience relief?

How Is Dry Needling Different From Acupuncture?

Although dry needling and acupuncture both use thin needles, their purposes and techniques differ. Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and aims to restore the body’s energy flow by targeting meridian points. Dry needling, on the other hand, is rooted in Western medicine and focuses specifically on treating musculoskeletal and nervous system dysfunction by targeting trigger points, tight muscle tissues, and specific nerves.
