Dry needling is a technique used in physical therapy and acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, acupuncture style needles into specific points in the body known as trigger points. 

Benefits: 

• Reduces muscle tension and pain
• Improves range of motion
• Stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms
• May help with conditions such as chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and tendinitis 

Procedure: 

• Our doctor will identify trigger points by palpating the muscles. 
• Thin needles are inserted into the trigger points. 
• The needles may remain in place for several minutes. 

Dry needling is a complementary therapy that may be beneficial for some people with musculoskeletal pain. This technique is used for pain and range of motion associated with myofascial trigger points.  It is important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if dry needling is right for you.
