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.

Benefits of Dry Needling

Dry needling releases tight trigger points, alleviating pain and stiffness while improving movement. It enhances rehabilitation when paired with chiropractic or physical therapy, offering a needle-based solution for faster healing.
