Dry Needling in Gahanna
If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle pain, limited range of motion, or an injury that just won’t quit, dry needling might be exactly what your body needs. Dr. Nathan Lorenz at Keystone Chiropractic is now offering dry needling as part of our natural approach to helping you feel and move better. No medications, no downtime, just results.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling uses thin, sterile needles inserted into tight or dysfunctional muscle tissue to release tension, reduce pain, and restore normal movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling targets specific musculoskeletal issues, making it a fantastic tool for addressing the root cause of your discomfort.
Not a Fan of Needles? That’s Okay.
You’re not alone, and Dr. Nate gets it. For patients who are nervous, he’ll often start by placing a single needle in a low-key spot, like your forearm, so you can see and feel for yourself just how gentle the process really is. Talking through what’s happening every step of the way, he makes sure you feel comfortable and informed before moving forward.
Quick, Effective Treatment
A typical dry needling session takes only 5 to 10 minutes, about the same as a regular chiropractic visit. It can be added right into your adjustment appointment or scheduled as a standalone treatment, whichever works best for you. Multiple areas of the body can be treated in a single session, so if you’ve got neck tension and shoulder pain, we can address both at once.
Especially Great for Athletes
Dry needling is a go-to for anyone dealing with sports injuries. From sprained ankles and rotator cuff issues to general shoulder problems, it works particularly well on the extremities and gets athletes back to doing what they love faster. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, this therapy fits right into a recovery and performance plan.
