Dry Needling

involves thin needles into muscle "trigger points" to alleviate pain and improve function

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves a trained practitioner inserting thin needles into specific areas of the muscle tissue. The goal is to stimulate trigger points and promote healing by reducing muscle pain and tension. This procedure, which is similar to acupuncture, is primarily used to treat conditions like chronic pain, sports injuries, and myofascial pain syndrome. The practitioner performing the procedure carefully identifies the trigger points and applies the needles to target these areas, providing relief from pain and discomfort for the patient.
