What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a technique used in physical therapy that involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific trigger points or tight bands of muscle to stimulate a healing response and alleviate pain and muscle tension. It can be helpful for a range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and chronic pain.
The benefits of dry needling may include:
- reducing pain and muscle tension
- improving range of motion and flexibility
- enhancing muscle activation and function
- promoting tissue healing
- improving overall physical performance.
