Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by licensed healthcare professionals to treat muscle pain and movement impairments. It involves inserting a thin, sterile needle directly into trigger points—tight, tender knots in muscles that can cause pain, stiffness, and dysfunction.
It is commonly used to treat conditions like back and neck pain, sports injuries, headaches, sciatica, tendonitis, and muscle tightness caused by overuse or poor movement patterns.
Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is grounded in modern anatomy and neuroscience. It’s a targeted, evidence-based approach designed to help muscles relax, promote healing, and get you moving better — faster.
Dry needling stimulates underlying myofascial trigger points and tissues, causing:
1. A local twitch response which helps release the muscle tension.
2. Improved blood flow and oxygenation of tissues
3. Reduce inflammation and pain by downregulating overactive nerve pathways
4. Enhanced neuromuscular control and muscle activation
