What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points—tight knots in muscles that can cause pain or restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy flow, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and targets musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

Key Benefits of Dry Needling

  1. Relieves Chronic Pain: Breaks up tension in overused or injured muscles.

  2. Improves Range of Motion: Reduces stiffness to enhance flexibility.

  3. Accelerates Recovery: Stimulates natural healing processes by improving blood flow.

  4. Boosts Performance: Addresses imbalances that may limit strength or endurance.


Who Can Benefit from Dry Needling?

  • Weightlifters limited by rotator cuff tendinitis   

  • Runners managing IT band syndrome.

  • Golfers or tennis players with elbow or shoulder pain.

  • Individuals recovering from surgery or injury.
