What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific trigger points or tight bands of muscle (myofascial trigger points).

Here’s Why Dry Needling Could Be Beneficial:

Pain Relief: Say goodbye to muscle tightness, spasms, and trigger point discomfort.
Muscle Function: Enhance flexibility, range of motion, and overall muscle function.
Recovery & Rehabilitation: Ideal for sports injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgery recovery.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

Mechanical: Stimulates local healing response by inducing microtrauma.
Neurological: Releases endorphins, modulating pain signals in the nervous system.
Biomechanical: Improves muscle length, flexibility, and function.

Our Approach:

Dry needling uses thin needles inserted into precise trigger points to ease muscular pain and restore function and movement. It is particularly effective for conditions like tendon pain, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, bicep strain, and issues around the knees, calves, and glutes.

Benefits of Dry Needling:

Eases Muscular Pain: Releases trigger points to reduce tension and relieve pain.
Restores Function: Enhances movement and muscle function.
Targets Trigger Points: Addresses the source of pain, which can radiate to other areas.
Preparation for Massage: Prepares muscles and tissues for more effective massage therapy.

What to Expect:

During Treatment: Needles are inserted into trigger points, which may cause a short contraction or muscle twitch that can feel painful.
Post-Treatment: You may experience soreness for up to 48 hours. If combined with other therapies, you might also feel groggy for several hours as your body heals and regains balance. Rehydrate and avoid heavy training.
