Dry needling is a therapeutic technique where thin, solid needles are inserted into muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. Unlike acupuncture, it targets specific areas of muscle tension or dysfunction.

Benefits include reduced muscle tightness, alleviation of chronic pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced recovery from injuries. By stimulating trigger points, dry needling can promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and release tension, offering relief for conditions like back pain, migraines, or sports injuries.

It’s a safe, minimally invasive option when performed by trained professionals, often complementing physical therapy or rehabilitation programs.
