DRY NEEDLING THERAPY
A Modern Approach to Pain Relief
Dry needling therapy is a treatment technique used by healthcare professionals to relieve pain and improve movement. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific areas of the body to stimulate healing and relaxation.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a procedure that targets trigger points, which are areas of muscle tissue that become knotted and inflamed. These trigger points can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. By inserting needles into these areas, dry needling helps to:
-
Relax muscle tension: Reducing muscle spasms and pain.
-
Improve blood flow: Enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.
-
Stimulate healing: Promoting the body's natural healing processes.
