Tailored to Individual Needs
Dry needling is a versatile technique that can be customized to address each senior’s specific needs and pain areas. This personalized approach ensures that the therapy is both safe and effective.
Safety Considerations
Minimal Discomfort
Dry needling is generally well-tolerated by seniors. The needles used are very thin, which minimizes discomfort during the procedure. Most seniors report only a mild, temporary sensation.
Reduced Medication Dependency
By offering a drug-free pain management alternative, dry needling can help seniors reduce their dependency on pain medications, which often come with side effects and potential risks.
Temporary Side Effects
Seniors may experience mild side effects, such as bruising, soreness, or slight bleeding, immediately after a dry needling session. However, these side effects typically resolve quickly.
Thorough Assessment Before Dry Needling
Before beginning dry needling therapy, seniors undergo a thorough assessment to ensure the treatment is suitable for their condition. This assessment includes a review of medical history and a physical examination.
