Chiropractic is an excellent treatment for pain and injuries in the neck, back, and shoulders. When paired with other forms of care - like dry needling - the benefits of chiropractic extend even further. At Preferred Medical and Rehab, we provide dry needling in Anchorage, AK. 

We’ve been helping patients reach their healthiest selves through top-quality chiropractic care and massage and physical therapy for more than 40 years. Our chiropractors offer varied skills that they apply with genuine dedication. 

What Is Dry Needling? 

Dry needling is an innovative form of treating muscular pain. The procedure involves a small filiform needle inserted into your muscle tissue to release trigger points. Similar to acupuncture, dry needling features stainless steel needles that don’t contain fluid - hence the term “dry.” 

By targeting your knotted muscles, dry needling will trigger intramuscular stimulation to relieve pressure from soft tissue. It works in tandem with chiropractic to heal your neuromusculoskeletal system naturally. In one case study, dry needling coupled with chiropractic successfully treated cervical strain and ended functional limitations. We utilize these evidence-based strategies to soothe neck, back, and shoulder pain.

The Top Benefits of Dry Needling

Besides providing relief from muscle pain, spasms, and stiffness, dry needling offers a series of other health benefits. By undergoing dry needling treatment, you’ll notice reduced inflammation, increased flexibility, and greater mobility. Because dry needling is a comprehensive process that involves the entire body, you’ll notice a faster recovery time for your injury or condition as the needle stimulates blood flow, providing more of the oxygen and nutrients necessary to heal.
