What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling
Dry Needling can be a valuable treatment technique in managing chronic pain, acute pain, muscle stiffness & spasm, edema/swelling, and painful muscle trigger points.
Dry Needling is a passive technique that uses thin, flexible, sterile needles to promote muscle relaxation, while increasing the ability of tissue to heal, and often results in pain relief. Dry Needling results in an amazing cascade of endogenous responses that promote tissue healing.
Dry Needling technique uses the same type of needles used in Acupuncture. However, Dry Needling treatment perspective is based solely on modern physiology, neurology and biomechanics, rather than Traditional Chinese/Asian Theory of the energy, “Chi”. Dry Needling is termed “dry” because at no time will a fluid or medication, be injected into your body. It therefore can be considered a natural therapy to help manage pain and injury.
