What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a skilled physical therapy technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points and areas of muscle tightness. Unlike injections, dry needling does not involve medication. The goal is to release tension, improve blood flow, and normalize muscle function.
Dry needling can help:
-
Reduce muscle pain and stiffness
-
Release trigger points and tight muscle bands
-
Improve range of motion
-
Decrease referred pain
-
Restore proper movement patterns
Dry needling is often combined with other physical therapy treatments for optimal results.
