What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique in which a thin needle is inserted into the skin and muscle to stimulate the healing process and reduce pain.

The needle is dry, meaning there is no medication or injection, but it is used to activate the healing response of the body.

How Does Dry Needling Work?

Dry needling works by triggering the body’s natural healing response and reducing pain.

The needle is inserted into the muscle to stimulate a release of tension, leading to improved blood flow, reduced pain, and improved function.

The needle also activates the nervous system, which can improve the effectiveness of other physiotherapy techniques, such as manual therapy and exercise.
