Dry Needling: Experience Natural Pain-Relief

Alleviate Muscle Pain and Dysfunction with Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique employed by healthcare professionals to address muscle pain and dysfunction. This method involves the precise insertion of thin, solid needles into the skin and underlying muscles, specifically targeting areas of muscle tightness, knots, or trigger points. These trigger points are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are linked to palpable nodules in taut muscle fibers, often causing pain, restricted movement, and referred pain.

By inserting filiform needles, which are similar to acupuncture needles, a local twitch response is triggered, helping to release muscle tension and enhance blood flow. Additionally, dry needling alters the body's pain perception by interrupting pain signals, providing relief. It also induces biochemical changes that reduce pain and inflammation while promoting healing.
