FAQs

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a specialized treatment approach used to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on releasing trigger points within muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. These trigger points, often referred to as "knots," can cause pain, restricted movement, and even referred pain to other areas of the body.

How does dry needling work?

During a dry needling session, thin needles are inserted into the skin and directly into trigger points. This process stimulates a local twitch response in the muscle, which helps to release tension and improve blood flow to the area. By targeting trigger points, dry needling can alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and promote tissue healing.

What conditions do you treat?

Dry needling can be used to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Chronic back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Tennis elbow

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Hip pain

  • Knee pain

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Sports injuries
