Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into tight or irritated muscle fibers—often called “trigger points”—to release knots, improve blood flow, and reset normal muscle function. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and neuroscience. This technique can help with:
- Muscle pain and stiffness
- Sports injuries
- Chronic tension or spasms
- Recovery from overuse or postural strain
Dry needling is safe, effective, and typically used alongside other treatments like chiropractic care, exercise, or soft tissue therapy to accelerate healing and restore proper movement.
