Dry Needling
Dry needling is a specialized technique designed to alleviate myofascial pain, a type of discomfort that arises from the muscles and the connective tissues surrounding them. This method is particularly effective in addressing trigger points, or “knots,” that develop due to muscle injuries or repetitive strain. These knots are notorious for causing pain and tightness, often leading to referred pain, which is felt in an area different from where the pain originates. By inserting fine acupuncture needles directly into these trigger points, dry needling aims to release or inactivate them, thereby providing relief from pain and enhancing the range of motion.
