What is Dry Needling?
It involves the insertion of the thin filament needle to stimulate the healing process of soft tissue (muscles). The result of dry needling is pain relief and restoration of healthy physiology.
Dry Needle therapy helps to dissolve trigger points. A trigger point is a hyperirritable point in a muscle associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule or “knot”.
Does it hurt?
A healthy muscle feels very little discomfort with insertion of the needle.
