Dry Needling

Dry needling is a targeted technique that uses very fine needles to address muscular trigger points—tight, sensitive areas that can contribute to local discomfort or referred pain. It’s often chosen to reduce muscle tension and support recovery.

About Dry Needling

Trigger points are tender muscle nodules that can create discomfort locally or refer pain elsewhere. Dry needling targets these points with a fine needle to help the muscle relax and reduce sensitivity. The approach is typically used alongside manual therapy and movement guidance, depending on your presentation. Most clients describe minimal discomfort; a brief twitch response can occur, which is normal.
