HULSEY DRY NEEDLING
At Hulsey Physical Therapy, we help patients in Commerce and Greenville, TX through our effective dry needling treatments. Dry needling is an advanced treatment technique used to address muscle pain, tightness, and movement restrictions for patients in Commerce and Greenville, TX. Dry needling is performed by trained physical therapists and targets trigger points within the muscle to promote relaxation, improve blood flow, and restore normal movement patterns. This technique is often integrated into a comprehensive physical therapy plan to support faster and more effective recovery.
Patients who receive Hulsey dry needling often report decreased muscle soreness, improved range of motion, and better overall function. Dry needling can be especially beneficial for individuals recovering from injury, dealing with chronic muscle pain, or experiencing movement limitations that have not responded to exercise alone. At Hulsey Physical Therapy, dry needling is used intentionally and safely to support long-term recovery and help patients return to daily activities with confidence.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling works by inserting a thin, sterile filament needle into areas of muscular tension or dysfunction. This precise approach helps release tight muscle bands, reduce pain, and improve flexibility. When combined with therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and other modalities, dry needling can enhance treatment outcomes by allowing patients to move more freely and participate more fully in their rehabilitation program.
What Does Dry Needling Treat?
Dry needling requires effective manual assessment of the neuromuscular system. Physical therapists are well trained to utilize dry needling in conjunction with manual physical therapy interventions. Dry needling effects are documented by the most recent evidence underpinning the mechanical, hypoalgesic (central, segmental, peripheral), neurophysiologic, chemical, and hormonal effects of the application of dry needling.
Dry needling is proven to help conditions such as:
- Muscle strains and overuse injuries
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Trigger point–related pain
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff–related conditions
- Hip pain and piriformis syndrome
- Knee pain and patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Headaches and tension-type headaches
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
- Sciatica and radiating muscle-related pain
- Post-surgical muscle tightness and scar-related restrictions
- Sports-related muscle injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries
Dry needling is most effective when muscle tightness or trigger points are contributing to pain or movement limitations and is commonly combined with therapeutic exercise and manual therapy for optimal results.
