Dry needling

Dry needling is the process by which a tiny sterile monofilament needle is placed into the muscle, tendon, ligament that is irritated with the objective of improving that tissue function and stimulating the body’s healing properties. Based on research and western medical practice techniques it is different from acupuncture although the same needle is used. Patients can expect an almost immediate relief of tension in the muscle that has been treated. Coupled with an appropriate strength training plan of care, this can be an extremely effective treatment technique for those that struggle with constant tension in their muscles.
