What is Dry Needling Therapy?

Dry Needling Therapy is an effective and popular treatment for muscle pain among adolescents and adults. It is used to treat myofascial and neuromuscular dysfunction that can arise from a variety of reasons, typically resulting in pain, decreased range of motion, and reduced strength of a muscle.

 

Who is Dry Needling Therapy for?

For adolescent and adult patients experiencing muscle pain, decreased range of motion, and reduced muscle strength due to myofascial and neuromuscular dysfunction.

 

How does it work?

The goal is to release the tight and painful muscle via the insertion of a hair-thin needle, creating an initial tightening of the muscle, then a quick relaxation.

Trigger points are usually sore when pressed, and can also cause referred pain in other areas of the body. For example, a trigger point in the upper back can cause pain to radiate to the head, neck, shoulder, and arm.

Dry needling can treat pain in all parts of the body, including the head, neck, back, arms, and legs.
