Episode #101- Dry Needling w/ Dr. Parul Haribhai

The Doctor Dads interview Dr. Parul Haribhai a physical therapist and therapeutic pain specialist. We focus our conversation on the therapeutic benefits of dry needling.

While still a relatively unknown procedure to many, this method is a proven pain solution option, it’s minimally invasive, requires no medication, and targets a wide range of common and uncommon conditions.

Dry needling is a safe and effective technique for addressing neuro-musculoskeletal pain and movement issues. This method targets trigger points, which are the local contracture or tight bands in a muscle fiber. Trigger points can cause pain, tenderness, restrict range of motion, and disrupt overall muscle function. With dry needling a thin monofilament needle is used to manipulate trigger points. 

Below are just a few conditions that can be treated, at least in part, by dry needling: 

• Muscle tightness
• Headaches/migraines
• Musculoskeletal dysfunctions
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Sports injuries
