Dry Needling

Here's how it works:

Pinpoint Precision: Unlike the holistic approach of acupuncture, dry needling can focus locally treating those stubborn knots and painful spots in your muscles, known as trigger points. Think of it like a skilled detective zeroing in on the culprit behind your discomfort.

Micro Magic: Using thin needles, a therapist gently nudges the trigger point, creating a tiny, controlled “micro-lesion” within the muscle. This doesn’t sound appealing, but trust us, it’s a good kind of pain!

Breaking the Pain Cycle: This micro-lesion triggers a series of beneficial effects:

1. 1. Shortened tissues relax: Those tight, knotted muscles start to loosen up, improving flexibility and range of motion.

   2. Nervous system calming: The micro-lesion disrupts the pain signals sent to your brain, offering immediate relief.

   3. Taming inflammation: The body’s natural healing response kicks in, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.

   4. Central pain control: Your brain’s pain processing center gets reset, leading to longer-lasting pain relief.
