Dry Needling
Dry needling therapy is a precise, evidence-based technique that targets muscular trigger points and fascial restrictions causing pain or limiting your performance. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling focuses specifically on musculoskeletal dysfunction. This treatment uses filament needles to release tight muscle bands and restore optimal movement patterns.
How Dry Needling Works
During your session, our doctorate-trained physical therapists insert sterile needles directly into trigger points. These stubborn knots create pain, restrict motion, and hold you back. This targeted approach stimulates a local twitch response which immediately releases muscle tension and promotes increased blood flow to the affected tissue.
The result? Your body's natural healing process accelerates, inflammation decreases, and normal muscle function returns.
