Dry Needling FAQ's

1.     Does Dry Needling Hurt?

No. Like with many other soft tissue treatments, you may experience some achiness post treatment and this is normal. The needles used are very small and most of the time, a patient may not even feel them being inserted. 

2.     How many needles are used during each treatment?

The number and size of needles used depends on the muscle(s) and overall treatment area. Usually it ranges from 2-10.

3.     Is it safe? Can I get infected?

Our clinic takes every precaution adhering to strict guidelines and standards.

All needles used are single- use, sterile and disposed of after each treatment in a biohazard container. 

The affected area is properly cleaned with alchohol prior to any treatment and the doctor wears protective gloves.    

4.     Will my insurance cover it?

Each insurance policy is different and while some plans do cover this treatment, we offer an affordable 'payment of time of service' discount, so  any patient may experience the benefits of Dry Needling.

5.     How long to treatments last and how many treatments does it take to get results?

A Dry Needling session can vary in time but will typically last 20-30 minutes.
