Dry Needling

 

 

Dry Needling is a modern therapeutic technique that helps relieve pain, release muscle tension, and restore mobility. It involves the use of fine, sterile needles inserted into specific trigger points (tight bands of muscle) to stimulate a natural healing response. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on Western anatomy and focuses on treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

 

When a needle is gently inserted into a trigger point, it creates a small twitch response in the muscle. This reaction helps:

  • Release muscle knots and tightness

  • Improve blood flow to the area

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Restore normal movement patterns

Most people feel only a mild sensation, and many experience immediate relief in tension and pain.
