Dry needling is a technique used by healthcare professionals, like physical therapists, to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting very fine needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into "trigger points" or tight spots in the muscles. The goal is to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

​

Potential Benefits of Dry Needling:

1. Pain Relief: It can help reduce pain by relaxing tight muscles and releasing built-up tension.

2. Improved Muscle Function: By targeting trigger points, dry needling can help muscles work more efficiently and reduce stiffness.

3. Increased Blood Flow: The needle can stimulate blood flow to the area, promoting healing.

4. Better Mobility: By addressing muscle tightness and restrictions, it can increase range of motion and flexibility.

5. Improved Posture and Movement: By relaxing muscles and reducing discomfort, it may help improve posture and the way you move.

6. Non-invasive: It's a minimally invasive approach to muscle pain management, making it an alternative to medication or surgery.

It's important to note that dry needling is different from acupuncture. While both use needles, acupuncture focuses on energy pathways, while dry needling targets muscle dysfunction.
