    What is Dry Needling?

    Dry needling is a technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target trigger points within tight or damaged muscles. These trigger points are often the root cause of:

    • Chronic pain
    • Muscle stiffness
    • Limited range of motion
    • Inflammation

    By releasing these points, dry needling helps:

    • Improve blood flow
    • Reduce muscle tension
    • Accelerate the body's natural healing process

    Dry Needling vs Acupuncture

    Although both use thin needles, dry needling and acupuncture are very different.

    • Dry needling is based on modern Western medicine and focuses on muscle function and pain relief.
    • Acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy pathways.

    Dry needling specifically targets the source of muscle pain and dysfunction.

    Combine Dry Needling with Chiropractic Care

    For the best results, dry needling is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and other therapies. This allows us to:

    • Address both muscle and structural issues
    • Speed up recovery
    • Provide longer-lasting relief
