Dry Needling in Ottawa
Dr. Jacob Lapenskie
 
Muscle tension and tightness can contribute to pain, restricted movement, and ongoing discomfort. If you are considering dry needling in Ottawa, Dr. Jacob Lapenskie offers this technique as part of a comprehensive chiropractic approach to care.
​
Dry needling is used to address muscle-related dysfunction by targeting areas of tightness that may be limiting movement or contributing to pain. It is often combined with other chiropractic treatments to support improved function and mobility.
 
What Is Dry Needling?
 
Dry needling is a technique that involves the use of thin, sterile needles inserted into specific areas of muscle, commonly referred to as trigger points. These areas can develop when muscles are overworked, strained, or not functioning properly.
​
The goal of dry needling is to:
​
  • Reduce muscle tension
  • Improve range of motion
  • Support more normal muscle function
 
Despite the name, dry needling does not involve medication or injections.
​
Conditions That May Benefit From Dry Needling
​
Dry needling may be used as part of care for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns, including:
​
  • Muscle tightness and stiffness
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Back pain associated with muscle dysfunction
  • Sports or activity-related muscle strain
  • Repetitive strain or postural muscle issues
 
Dry needling is not a standalone solution, but rather one tool that may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan when appropriate.
​
How Dry Needling Fits Into Chiropractic Care
​
For patients seeking dry needling in Ottawa, this technique is often combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises. Addressing both joint movement and muscle function can help support more lasting improvements in how the body moves.
​
Treatment decisions are based on clinical findings, individual tolerance, and overall care goals.
​
Is Dry Needling Right for You?
​
Dry needling may be appropriate for adults experiencing muscle-related pain or movement restriction. Not everyone is a candidate, and the technique is used selectively based on assessment findings.
If you are unsure whether dry needling is appropriate for your condition, a consultation can help determine whether it may be a suitable part of your care.
