What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a physiotherapy technique used to relieve muscular pain and tension by targeting trigger points within the muscles using thin sterile needles.
It is different from acupuncture and is based on modern musculoskeletal and anatomical principles.
How Does It Work?
The needle is inserted into tight or painful muscle areas to help:
Release muscle tension
Improve blood circulation
Reduce pain sensitivity
Improve muscle function
This can help restore normal movement and reduce discomfort.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Patients may feel a brief twitch response or mild soreness during or after treatment. The procedure is generally quick and well tolerated.
