Dry Needling is a unique procedure that works to alleviate pain and restore normal physical function. By inserting small, thin needles into specific muscles, it allows for increased blood-flow and an influx of oxygen and nutrients on a cellular level to the affected area. It also helps the body heal itself by triggering the release of pain relievers such as endorphins which decrease the perception of pain and reduce the need for medication, all making it a highly effective treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and body aches.
The needles used don’t inject fluids into the body, hence the term “dry”.
