Trigger Point Dry needling is a specialty here at CORE Physical Therapy in Omaha. We have been utilizing this technique for the better part of a decade. It can be used on all patient types with a muscular issue. It can also be used in combination with electrical stimulation.

The main goal of trigger point needling performed at CORE, is to get a muscle to shut down and relax. In order to trick the muscle into a state of relaxation, we insert the needle repetitively into the muscle and create a twitch. the tech is a stretch reflex modulated by the central nervous system. Similar in nature to checking the knee reflex in a doctors office.

The twitch creates a maximum contraction and promotes a full muscle relaxation state. This allows muscle pain to shut down. It also helps to get back to a resting states so your body remains in good alignment. This allows us to find the root cause of what caused the muscle pain and inflammation in the first place. Which helps to keep the pain down, recovery sessions down, and more efficient healing. This is vital for injury prevention long term.
