Relieve Pain. Restore Movement.
Dry Needling treats muscular pain by inserting fine, sterile needles into trigger points to relieve pain and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy pathways in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is based on modern anatomical and neurophysiological principles and teachings.
How Does Dry Needling Work?
-
Trigger Point Activation: The technique targets "trigger points", which are tight, hyper-irritable spots within a muscle.​​​​
-
Needle Insertion: A thin needle is inserted into the trigger point to stimulate a local twitch response. This helps release the knot, improving blood flow, and promoting muscle relaxation.
-
Neurophysiological Effects: Dry Needling can help reset the neuromuscular system, reducing pain signals sent to the brain and restoring normal muscle function.
