Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment that relieves muscle pain and tension by targeting trigger points with thin, sterile needles. It promotes healing and restores muscle function, offering lasting relief for chronic pain, injuries, and tightness. Discover how dry needling can improve your well-being.

What Is Dry Needling?

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves inserting thin filiform needles into various myofascial trigger points throughout the body to alleviate muscle spasms, back pain, neck pain, or any other trigger points of discomfort.

Dry needling differs from acupuncture because its methodology is different. Dry needling treats the myofascial trigger points and acupuncture treats the acupuncture points and meridians of the body.

Dry needling is different from the standard injection needles because there is no substance injected into the body.

The dry needling approach is aimed at stimulating the natural healing processes within the body by stimulating the affected tissue (usually a myofascial trigger point). There is minimal risk with dry needling, but you may have some soreness or discomfort following treatment.
