Dry Needling

What is Dry Needling and What are the Benefits?

Dry needling is a targeted treatment technique used to release tight muscles and reduce pain. Very thin, sterile needles are inserted into trigger points - knots or areas of tension within the muscle, to stimulate healing, improve blood flow, and restore muscle function.

Some other benefits include:

• Improves range of motion and mobility

• Speeds up muscle recovery after injury or strain

• Enhances athletic performance

• Helps with chronic pain like tension headaches or lower back pain

• Promotes better muscle activation and balance

Dry Needling vs Acupuncture

Although the two practices may look similar, dry needling is based on Western medicine principles and focuses specifically on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, as opposed to acupuncture’s focus on relieving conditions through the manipulation of the “Qi” meridians.
