Dry Needling
About Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific trigger points in the muscles to relieve pain and improve function. This method targets myofascial trigger points—tight knots in muscles that can cause pain and restrict movement. By stimulating these points, dry needling promotes blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain, sports injuries, or muscle tightness.
The technique is safe and effective when performed by trained healthcare professionals, making it suitable for a wide range of patients. Overall, dry needling serves as a valuable addition to traditional physical therapy and rehabilitation practices.
