Dry needling is a highly effective technique used to target
muscle tightness, trigger points, and pain. By inserting fine, sterile needles
into specific areas of muscle tension, this treatment helps release tight
bands, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort.
Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese
medicine, dry needling is grounded in modern musculoskeletal science and
focuses on relieving myofascial pain and dysfunction. It is often used
alongside myotherapy or remedial massage for deeper relief and longer-lasting
results.
Dry needling can be particularly beneficial for those
experiencing chronic muscle tension, sports-related injuries, or restricted
movement.
