What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialized technique utilized by our skilled therapists to target and treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on addressing muscle knots, myofascial pain, and dysfunction. By inserting fine, solid needles into trigger points within the muscle tissue, we aim to:
- Relieve Pain: Dry needling effectively reduces both acute and chronic pain by releasing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.
- Improve Range of Motion: Enhance joint mobility and flexibility, enabling you to move more freely and comfortably.
- Enhance Blood Flow: Stimulate localized blood flow, aiding the body’s natural healing processes.
- Activate Muscles: Strengthen weak or inhibited muscles, crucial for rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries.
- Complement Treatment: Combine dry needling with other physical therapy techniques, such as manual therapy and exercise, to achieve holistic healing and recovery.
Our Therapy Techniques
Our experienced therapists employ a range of dry needling techniques to cater to your specific needs:
- Trigger Point Dry Needling: The most common technique, targeting trigger points within muscles to relieve pain and tension.
- Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS): Focusing on neuromuscular dysfunction, IMS stimulates neural pathways to restore function and reduce pain.
Safety and Care
Your well-being is our top priority. We adhere to strict hygiene protocols, ensuring that all needles used are disposable and sterile. While minor soreness or bruising may occur, our skilled practitioners minimize any discomfort and always prioritize your safety during treatment.
