Relieve Pain | Improve Muscle Activation | Boost Movement Patterns
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a treatment technique which can be utilized by physical therapists to relieve pain, improve muscle activation, and improve movement patterns. It involves inserting a sterile acupuncture needle through the skin, into or close to, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This will then stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, and muscular and connective tissue for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. Dry needling is not acupuncture; it is based on modern scientific study of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. It provides an environment which enhances the body’s ability to heal itself, which ultimately reduces pain and improves function.
What Are the Benefits of Dry Needling?
When combined with traditional physical therapy, dry needling can be successful in treating a variety of issues, such as, pain and
muscle tension/spasticity. This can significantly help improve movement patterns and overall function.
