Schedule In-Home Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a highly effective intervention that targets trigger points or taut bands within muscles. By inserting sterile, ultra-thin needles into specific areas, we help release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dry Needling is based on Western neuroanatomy and modern scientific study of the musculoskeletal system.
Dry needling is a specialized therapy that targets tight or knotted areas in muscles, often referred to as trigger points. By placing thin needles into these precise spots, tension and pain can be reduced, making it easier to move and helping to enhance your overall well-being.

At Be On The Move, we offer dry needling services in:
👉 Boynton Beach
👉 Boca Raton
👉 Lake Worth
👉 Wellington

and other Palm Beach neighborhoods, aiming to provide convenient, effective care for local residents.

How Is Dry Needling Different from Acupuncture?

Although both procedures use needles, they arise from distinct traditions and methods. Acupuncture, which has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine, focuses on restoring the body’s energy balance or “Qi” by targeting various meridians. Dry needling, by contrast, follows a contemporary, Western-oriented model that centers on identifying and addressing muscle-related concerns by pinpointing trigger points.

Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?

For most individuals, dry needling is a low-risk treatment when performed by a skilled provider. Nevertheless, certain groups
should carefully evaluate whether this technique is right for them:

• Children who may struggle to remain still
• Expectant mothers, particularly during early pregnancy
• People with bleeding disorders or those on blood thinners
• Individuals with active infections or severely compromised immunity

Possible Advantages of Dry Needling
• Directly targets muscle “trigger points” to help alleviate tension and discomfort
• May enhance flexibility and ease of movement
• Typically involves minimal side effects and can be well-tolerated
• Integrates seamlessly with other therapy techniques for a comprehensive care plan
