What is dry needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target tight muscles and trigger points that cause pain and limited movement. It helps release tension, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function, making it a highly effective treatment for muscle tightness, injuries, and chronic pain.
What is treats
Dry needling helps relieve muscle pain, tightness, and stubborn knots that limit how your body moves. It is commonly used for neck and back pain, headaches, sports injuries, joint stiffness, and overuse or repetitive strain issues. By calming irritated muscles and improving movement, it helps your body recover faster and feel more comfortable day to day.
Expectations
Dry needling sessions are typically quick and very well tolerated. The needles are extremely thin, and most people find the treatment does not hurt, though you may feel a brief muscle twitch or mild cramping sensation when a tight area releases, which is normal. Some light soreness, similar to a workout, can occur for a day or two after. Many people notice improved movement and reduced tension shortly after treatment, especially when combined with stretching, exercise, or other therapies recommended by your provider.
