ULTRASOUND GUIDED DRY NEEDLING

What is Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling?

​

Ultrasound Guided Dry Needling is an advanced therapeutic technique that combines the benefits of traditional dry needling with real-time ultrasound imaging. By using ultrasound, your provider can visualize the underlying tissues and precisely guide the needle to the exact area of concern. This approach enhances accuracy, safety, and treatment effectiveness for soft tissue pain and dysfunction.

​

How is it Performed?

​

During an ultrasound guided dry needling session, a thin filament needle is gently inserted through the skin while the provider uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the target tissue—such as muscles, tendons, or trigger points. The needle is directed with precision to the affected area, allowing for targeted treatment of deep or hard-to-reach structures. This technique minimizes risk and maximizes therapeutic benefit by ensuring the needle reaches the intended tissue.
