Dry needling

     Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain and other body impairments associated with muscular or neuromuscular dysfunctions. During dry needling, a practitioner inserts several filiform needles into your skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don’t inject fluid into the body. That’s why the term “dry” is used. Practitioners place the needles in “trigger points” in your muscle or tissue. Dry needling helps treat points that are areas of knotted or hard muscle.

    Dry needling helps release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms. The needles will remain in your skin for a short period of time. The length of time depends on your needs.
