If you’re struggling with chronic muscle pain, tightness, or movement limitations, dry needling treatment may be an effective solution.  It involves the insertion of a thin monofilament needle into the soft tissues of the body by a trained healthcare provider. This minimally invasive treatment targets myofascial trigger points—tight knots in muscles that contribute to pain and restricted motion. Performed by a licensed physical therapist, dry needling can accelerate recovery, improve flexibility, and restore function. After a thorough assessment and physical evaluation, your therapist identifies areas of muscular tension or dysfunction. Thin, sterile needles are then inserted into specific trigger points to release tension, reduce pain, and improve blood flow. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is strictly based on anatomical and physiological principles rather than traditional Chinese medicine.
