DRY NEEDLING THERAPY
Dry needling is an evidence-based therapy that uses thin, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points—knots in muscles causing pain and restricted movement. Unlike acupuncture, it follows modern neuroanatomical principles to release tension, improve blood flow, and restore function. This minimally invasive treatment reduces pain, enhances mobility, and accelerates healing for conditions like chronic muscle tightness, sports injuries, and postural strain.
Often combined with chiropractic care or physical therapy, dry needling provides rapid relief and supports long-term recovery. Safe and effective when performed by trained professionals, it’s ideal for patients seeking drug-free solutions for muscular dysfunction.

Most feel minimal discomfort a quick pinch or muscle twitch but it’s generally well-tolerated and provides immediate relief.
Dry needling targets muscular trigger points using Western medicine principles, while acupuncture focuses on energy flow (Qi) via traditional Chinese medicine.
Results vary, but many patients see improvement in 2–6 sessions, depending on their condition.
Effective for muscle pain, tension headaches, sports injuries, sciatica, and postural imbalances like "tech neck."
