What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a technique to treat the neuro-musculoskeletal systems based on pain patterns, muscular dysfunction and other orthopedic signs and symptoms.

The aim of Dry Needling is to achieve a natural 'twitch' response to release muscle tension and pain.

Small needles are inserted into trigger points (tight and tender spots within the muscle) to increase blood flow to the area and regulate nerve communication to block pain signals coming from the brain. This process promotes natural healing.
