Dry Needling

Dry needling is a specialized treatment technique used to relieve muscle pain and improve movement. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle into tight or knotted muscles, known as trigger points, to release tension, reduce pain, and restore function. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern science and physical therapy principles.

 

At our clinic, we use dry needling as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and movement dysfunction.

​

​

• Individuals with Chronic Pain: Conditions like low back pain, neck pain, or headaches.

​

• Athletes: To improve performance, reduce muscle tightness, and speed up recovery.

​

Dry needling helps stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting better circulation, reduced inflammation, and improved muscle function. Most patients experience immediate relief and increased mobility after treatment.
