Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscle, without injecting any substance (hence "dry"). This technique aims to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain by stimulating the body's natural healing response. Dry needling is often used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, muscle strains, tendonitis, and myofascial pain syndrome. It can complement other forms of therapy, such as physical therapy, to enhance pain relief and improve overall function.
