What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is employed to relieve trigger points within the muscles. After the trigger point is released, the muscle can begin to restore its normal length and function. The typical microtrauma induced by the needling promotes a healing environment in the adjacent tissue. When combined with electrical stimulation, dry needling has demonstrated the ability to alleviate centrally-mediated pain.

The Dry Needling Experience:

During your first initial exam, the treated area will be determined. Microfine needles will be placed in any trigger points or knots, the needles are coupled with electrical stimulation to not only enhance the experience but to penetrate the muscles to release the tension. This relaxing and beneficial experience is anywhere from 8 - 10 minutes and is usually performed weekly.
