Dry Needling in Sulphur Springs, TX
Thin needles placed in tight or irritated muscle to calm trigger points and improve how the tissue moves.
How it fits your care
A trigger point is a tight, tender spot in a muscle that can cause pain right where it is or somewhere else nearby. Dry needling targets those spots directly. At Pacheco Spine and Sport, it is most commonly done together with joint manipulation and corrective exercise to help you move better and keep the muscle working well.
Who it can help
Dry needling is commonly used for:
Muscle knots and trigger points
Neck, shoulder, and upper back tension
Low back and hip muscle pain
Muscle tightness from sports, lifting, or repetitive work
Pain that seems to spread from a tight spot in a muscle
What to expect
Both Dr. Anthony and Dr. Amber provide dry needling, sometimes combined with electrical stimulation. It uses very thin, solid, single-use needles, and no medication is injected. You may feel a quick twitch or a brief, cramp-like ache in the muscle, which is a normal response. Some soreness for a day or two afterward is common, and staying active and hydrated can help.
