Dry Needling

Dry Needling Therapy for Pain Relief and Recovery

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by health professionals to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting thin, sterile needles into myofascial trigger points - tight knots in muscles - to release tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.

Although it is sometimes compared to acupuncture, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and focuses specifically on addressing neuromuscular conditions.

How Dry Needling Works

Dry needling targets muscle knots (trigger points) that cause pain and limit mobility. When a needle is inserted into a trigger point, it stimulates a twitch response. This helps:

• Relax the muscle
• Improve blood flow and circulation
• Reduce pain signals sent to the brain
• Restore muscle function

This process not only relieves pain but also supports the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Conditions Treated with Dry Needling

Dry needling can be an effective, drug-free approach for managing a wide range of condition, including:

• Muscle and joint pain
• Sports injuries
• Headaches and migraines
• Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia
• Restricted movement or muscle stiffness
