About Dry Needling

Dry needling is a highly effective technique used in physical therapy to target muscle pain and tightness by releasing trigger points. It complements other treatments to enhance recovery, improve mobility and restore function.

RELIEVE CHRONIC & ACUTE MUSCLE PAIN

Dry needling targets specific trigger pintts within the muscles, which are tight bands of tissue that can cause pain. By releaseing these trigger points, the treatment reduces both localized and referred pain, offering relief for conditions like back pain, neck pain, or sports injuries. It's effective for both short-term flare-ups and long-term pain management

IMPROVE RANGE OF MOTION & FLEXIBILITY

By addressing muscle tightness and dysfunction, dry needling helps restore proper muscle function, allowing for improved movement. This is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or conditions like tendinitis as it allows them to regain flexibility and return to normal activity levels faster.

ACCELERATE THE HEALING PROCESS

The needle stimulates a natural healing response by increasing blood flow to the treated area. This promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, reduces inflammation, and encourages tissue repair, making it an excellent addition to physical therapy for faster recovery. Additionally, reduced muscle tension helps prevent further strain or injury.
