Dry Needling

Dry Needling is the use of fine filiform needles that are inserted into muscles to mechanically break up tight areas called Trigger Points in the muscle. The main goal is to induce muscle relaxation and reduce pain.  The needle can also be inserted into Trigger Point areas in ligaments, tendons, fascia and bony areas to assist with pain relief.

Dry Needling can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions: 

• Acute or chronic muscle strain
• Whiplash
• Postural syndromes
• Sports and work related injuries
• Tendonitis, bursitis, or other superficial overuse or inflammatory conditions
• Reduce swelling in injured joints
• Headaches and other pain syndromes
