Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique in which thin, strong, thread-like needles are inserted into the skin and muscles. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling has its roots in Western medicine and focuses on the specific treatment of myofascial trigger points, which are hypersensitive points in the muscle that can cause pain and discomfort.

Pain relief: Dry needling can help relieve pain in muscles and joints by releasing trigger points, reducing muscle tension, and promoting blood circulation.

Improved range of motion: By treating tight muscles and knots, dry needling can help improve flexibility and range of motion, which is particularly beneficial for athletes and those recovering from surgery after an injury.

Treatment of musculoskeletal disorders: It is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic neck and back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis.

Enhanced rehabilitation: Dry needling can be part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program to speed recovery from injuries, surgeries, and other musculoskeletal problems.

Reduce muscle spasms and tension: By targeting specific areas of muscle spasms, dry needling can help relieve muscle tension and reduce cramps.
