A specialized technique using thin needles to release muscle tension, treat trigger points, and relieve pain.
Dry needling is a skilled intervention performed by trained healthcare professionals that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular tissues, and connective tissues to manage pain and movement impairments.
Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy meridians, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and targets specific anatomical structures based on a thorough physical examination.
Most patients experience immediate pain relief and improved range of motion after treatment, though some may experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours after the procedure. This is normal and typically resolves quickly as the body adjusts to the treatment.
Rapidly reduces muscle pain by releasing trigger points and restoring normal muscle function.
Many patients experience immediate improvement after just one session of treatment.
Enhances blood flow to treatment areas, promoting faster healing and recovery.
