Dry Needling
For the mild and efficient treatment of muscle aches, pains, and dysfunction caused by hyper-irritated muscle tissue, dry needling is utilized as a complementary therapy. It is frequently utilized in conjunction with soft tissue work and movement of the affected joints and provides prompt relief for muscular pains, muscle spasms, muscle tightness, and trigger points. Acupuncture needles are used in this method to loosen up knotted muscles and trigger points. The muscle fibers are punctured with the needle, which is left there until the muscle starts to show symptoms of relaxation.
When carried out by a trained professional, it is a safe therapeutic method. We make sure that only sterile, individually packaged needles are applied. The dry needling technique aids in muscular relaxation and encourages greater blood flow to the area being treated, which brings with it additional nutrients and speeds up the healing process. Sometimes after treatment, there can be bruising for about a week. People who have dry needling frequently report feeling more energized, deeply.
