Dry Needling Therapist
What is Dry Needling
Treatment ?
Dry needling is a treatment technique used by physical therapists to relieve muscle pain and improve movement. It involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into trigger points or tight areas of muscles without injecting any substance—hence the term “dry.” The goal is to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain or muscle stiffness. Dry needling targets deep layers of muscle and helps treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and muscle spasms. The procedure may cause a slight twitch or soreness, but it usually provides fast relief and supports faster recovery of muscle function and mobility.
How Does Dry NeedlingTreatment Work?
Dry needling Treatment works by inserting thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight bands within the muscles. These Trigger points are often painful knots that can cause discomfort and limit movement. The Needle causes a tiny muscle twitch or contraction, which helps release tension, reduce pain, and improve blood flow to the area. This Reaction also stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging muscle relaxation and tissue repair. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern anatomy and muscle science. It is commonly used to treat chronic pain, sports injuries, and movement restrictions by restoring normal muscle function.
