What is Dry Needle Therapy?

This method is called "Dry Needle Therapy" since the needles used in the treatment do not contain medication. Dry needle therapy is a scientific treatment method and is widely used in musculoskeletal system pain all over the world.

How Does Dry Needle Work?

With this method, very thin special needles of different lengths, known as acupuncture needles, are used. The needle is inserted into the "trigger points" that cause pain in the painful muscles. In this way, the aim is to resolve the spasm (muscle shortening) in the muscle that causes the pain.

When the spasm in the muscle is resolved, that is, when the length of the shortened muscle is restored, both the muscle-related pain disappears and the dysfunction caused by the short muscle is corrected. 

Contrary to popular belief, when the needles used in dry needle treatment are as thin as a strand of hair, the treatment is not painful. Since it does not contain any medication, it has no side effects. Thanks to the stimulation of the muscles by the needles, the body's own repair mechanism is activated. Therefore, it treats the disease, not the pain. As the disease is treated, the pain will go away on its own.

To Whom is Dry Needle Treatment Applied?

Since it has no side effects, it can be applied safely to patients of all ages.

First of all, the patient must be examined and the diagnosis must be clearly determined. From now on, if the physician who will apply it thinks that the patient will benefit from dry needle treatment, sessions are planned at regular intervals.

How Many Sessions Are Required for Dry Needle?

The number of sessions varies from patient to patient, depending on the disease and the duration of the disease. Sometimes a single session is sufficient, rarely 10 sessions may be required. However, an average of 5-7 sessions are sufficient.
