What Is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a treatment that Chiropractors utilize to help treat pain and movement issues. During a session, a thin, small needle is inserted through the skin to treat underlying myofascial trigger points (myo – muscle, fascia – thin, white connective tissue wrapped around your muscle)

These underlying trigger points are knotted, tender areas that develop over time in your muscles. They can be susceptible and painful, especially if left untreated. That’s where dry needling becomes beneficial.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

When a needle is inserted into one of these trigger points it allows your body to draw normal blood supply back into a muscle. This action helps to flush out the area, resulting in a release of tension, and a reduction in pain. It also helps to relax the muscles and fascia (connective tissue).

When utilized properly it can help to stimulate healing in muscles, ligaments and tendons.
