Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used by physical therapists and healthcare professionals to relieve muscle pain and improve mobility. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points (knots in muscles) to release tension, reduce pain, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomy and neuromuscular science. It is commonly used to treat conditions like muscle tightness, sports injuries, chronic pain, and tension headaches.
