Needle Size for Dry Needling | See How Big the Needles Are! 

Wow! Sometimes needles do bend if the contraction is strong but rarely do needles break which can put you at ease!

I'll leave them in sometimes, especially for chronic pain. I was always taught that needle length helps control depth, so it's important not to use a longer needle than needed as to not go too deep. Best of luck with you learning!

@@David-fv2hj Of course.

Golden Needle, it's an NC company and ships to us on the eastern part of the state from the mountains.

The possibility of that is very small and I've never had it happen. I list it on my consent so that patients know it could happen, but it is extremely unlikely. I also only use each needle once before I use a new one. The manufacturing is very good and they're made of stainless steel. Hypothetically if it broke and I was unable to retrieve it I'd send them to a medical professional who could surgically remove it.

I've probably placed hundreds of thousands of needles.

I like Golden Needle out of NC.

@@JasonWilliamsDC-Chiro-Rehab Thank you

No problem.@@bunnyman6321

Not necessarily. Longer needles are used for targeting deeper muscles and the thickness doesn't vary a whole lot but sometimes thicker needs help with needle control.
