What Can Dry Needling Treat?
Dry needling is unrelated to acupuncture, though it uses similar tools, which is where the similarities end. Acupuncture is Eastern medicine, while dry needling is rooted in Western medicine. Both help evaluate pain patterns, posture, movement impairments, function, and orthopedic tests, though dry needling focuses on the pain rather than bringing balance to the body.
Dry needling treats muscle tissue and its goal is to reduce pain, deactivate trigger points, and restore function. It is rarely a standalone procedure. Instead, it is part of a broader physical therapy approach, including other conventional physical therapy interventions. Dry needling helps a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as:
How Dry Needling Works
At Whole Body Chiropractic - Prosper in McKinney, our skilled and certified physical therapists specialize in dry needling treatments. This innovative technique involves a thin needle penetrating the skin to target underlying muscular trigger points. Dry needling effectively helps manage neuromusculoskeletal pain and improves movement impairments by addressing these areas.
A trigger point is a tight band of muscle fibers that can disrupt normal function, limit range of motion, and cause localized pain or referred pain to other areas of the body. When dry needling is incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan, it accelerates the restoration of musculoskeletal function, allowing for a quicker recovery.
Dry needling is an excellent option for patients aiming to return to their previous activity levels or sports without limitations. Despite the procedure's name, which may sound intimidating, dry needling is a safe, minimally discomforting, and highly effective technique for addressing specific musculoskeletal issues. It's a valuable tool for those seeking relief and improved mobility.

Dr. Lauren is an amazing chiropractor! I am a massage therapist, in the same building actually and have referred many of my clients to her. All of them have reported improvement in their pain! One loves her myofascial scrapping and another her dry needling. She's helped me and my littles as well. My youngest, 6, expresses how she loves the "pumpkin" adjustment over the "pretzel" adjustment all other chiropractors have done on her. Go see this Chiropractor! The location is so convenient. Right on the boarder or Mckinney, Prosper and Frisco! *

I've been to 3 different "Webster certified" chiropractors to try and ease my pregnancy pain, but Dr. Academia was the only one who actually took the time to figure out where the pain was coming from and wouldn't let me leave until the issues were addressed. Everywhere else was a speedy get in-Crack you-get out, but with Dr. Academia I felt cared for with compassion and love that she explains everything to me so I can gain knowledge about what's going on with my body. *

I highly recommend Dr. Lauren! Now that she's in this new office, we travel almost an hour to get to her. We're probably passing by dozens of chiropractors on our way there, but it's worth it! She doesn't just do a quick back and neck adjustment- She has helped me with TMJ, my feet, my knees, and I've seen her work her dry needling magic on my wife. She's also helpful in offering up any sort of advice in any aspect of health in which we have questions. I definitely recommend Dr. Lauren! *
