What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a completely safe and scientifically validated method that therapists use to loosen muscles that are too tight, increase blood flow, and relieve pain. Unlike acupuncture, which targets energy points, dry needling works directly with muscle trigger points, targeting pain directly from its source.
At Fisher Therapeutics, we strive to provide the best care to each person looking for dry needling in Knoxville TN. The targeted treatment that you receive will help your muscles relax and will restore your body's natural balance, no matter if you are healing from an injury, suffering from chronic pain, or have post-exercise soreness.

What to Expect During Your Dry Needling Session
At Fisher Therapeutics, your dry needling experience in Knoxville, TN, is healing-focused, clear, and delivers positive results. Here’s what a typical session looks like:
Step 1: Personalized Assessment
We begin by understanding your body, collecting information about the pain, its duration, and which movements are limited. Through this examination, the identification of muscle trigger points and causes beneath the surface becomes possible. Before we start, you will receive a complete explanation of what is going on and why.
Step 2: Targeted Needle Application
With very thin, sterile needles, the therapist gently works on a muscle trigger point or points. These are the closely bound, twisted areas in the muscle that are the main culprits of pain and lack of movement. The moment may be accompanied by feedback of the muscle twitching, which is a positive signal of muscle release. Most people describe it as a mild, quick sensation followed by noticeable relief.
Step 3: Recovery and Relaxation
Once the needles are placed, the muscles start to relax and refresh themselves. A warming sensation or a pleasant heaviness in the treated area might be felt; it is the body healing itself. We may use simple stretching or joint movements to speed up the recovery process. The goal here is straightforward: to alleviate pain, bring back normal muscle function, and let the body get its usual balance again.
Step 4: Care After the Session
We will give you some personalized aftercare advice for maximum results before you depart. Drinking enough water, moving the light, and doing some easy stretches can be included in it. In addition, you will receive instructions on how frequently you should repeat the sessions depending on your level of pain and objectives. Our aim is to provide you with the tools of knowledge and the confidence needed to experience relief that lasts.
