Dry Needling

Dry needling is based on the Trigger Point theory of discrete irritable points in skeletal muscle and fascia which are usually painful, tender and can radiate pain. Essentially, Myofascial Trigger Points are tight spasming areas within muscles which cause alot of pain or dysfunction.

When tissue is injured, whether by acute trauma or repetitive use, the body responds with inflammation to that area. In an effort to further protect itself, the damaged tissue contracts, and if left untreated, restriction in mobility can occur as scar tissue builds up around the muscles and tissues. Dry needling can not only eliminate neuromuscular pain but also restore mobility and functionality.
