Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by healthcare professionals to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points in the muscle or connective tissue. These points are often referred to as myofascial trigger points, which are taut bands of muscle fibers believed to cause pain, tightness, or limited range of motion.

Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy pathways (meridians), dry needling is grounded in Western medicine principles and anatomy. The primary goal is to address musculoskeletal issues such as chronic pain, muscle stiffness, tendinitis, and joint dysfunction.

The needle stimulates the underlying tissue, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and resetting the muscle's tension. This can lead to pain relief and improved mobility.
