Dry Needling for Sciatica, TMJ, and Neck Pain: Effective Relief in Ohio
If you’ve been dealing with nagging pain that won’t go away—whether it’s from sciatica, TMJ, neck pain, or migraines—you’re not alone. Many people are searching for natural, effective relief that doesn’t rely on medication. That’s where dry needling comes in.
At Custom Care Rehab, we bring expert physical therapy and in-home therapy directly to you—including advanced techniques like dry needling in Ohio for faster recovery and long-term results.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based technique used by licensed physical therapists. It involves placing very thin needles into trigger points (tight muscle knots) to release tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.
Despite the name, dry needling isn’t acupuncture. It’s based on Western medicine and is used specifically to treat orthopedic conditions, muscular pain, and sports injuries.
Why Dry Needling Works
When muscles are tight or irritated, they can press on nerves or restrict normal movement. This can cause pain in places like the lower back, jaw, or head. Dry needling helps by:
Releasing muscle knots
Increasing blood flow
Calming nerve irritation
Improving range of motion
Conditions That Improve with Dry Needling
✅ Sciatica
Dry needling can reduce pain caused by irritated sciatic nerves by targeting deep muscle tension in the glutes and lower back. It’s especially helpful when stretching or massage hasn’t worked.
✅ TMJ (Jaw Pain)
Jaw pain from TMJ dysfunction often stems from tight muscles around the face, neck, and head. Dry needling can help release these trigger points and reduce clicking, tension, and jaw stiffness.
✅ Neck Pain and Migraines
Neck tightness is often the root cause of recurring migraines and headaches. Dry needling helps reduce pressure on sensitive nerves and decreases inflammation—helping you feel clearer, lighter, and pain-free.
✅ CrossFit Athletes and Weekend Warriors
Whether you're doing Olympic lifts or daily WODs, intense training can cause micro-tears and overuse injuries. Dry needling helps speed recovery, reduce soreness, and prevent future strain.
Benefits of In-Home Therapy
At Custom Care Rehab, we specialize in in-home therapy in Ohio. That means no waiting rooms or commuting—just personalized physical therapy, delivered in the comfort of your own home.
This is especially helpful if you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or need flexible scheduling around work or family life.
Is Dry Needling Right for You?
If you’ve tried other treatments without lasting results, dry needling might be the missing piece. It’s safe, fast-acting, and often works when massage, stretching, or even chiropractic care hasn't.
