Dry Needling: Release Tension For Deep Healing

Knotted areas within the muscles are known as trigger points. Caused by injured or overused muscles, trigger points are particularly sensitive and irritable and can restrict your movement and comfort. However, they also offer a unique opportunity to experience healing through dry needling.

Dry needling, which involves the placement of thin needles into trigger points for brief periods, helps to release tension in these knotted areas. Even though the needles only remain in the muscles for 10-20 seconds, they trigger a wave of physical responses that encourage healing and pain relief.

Called dry needling because this approach uses solid needles without the injection of any medication, this approach is similar to acupuncture. However, with dry needling, your provider will evaluate your pain to determine which trigger points are causing it and then focus on those locations, while acupuncture tends to involve the insertion of needles into different, less customized, areas of the body.
