Medical Acupuncture/Dry Needling



Dry needling provides targeted relief for tight, knotted muscles that other therapies can't always adequately address.
 
Dry needling is a technique chiropractors use to deactivate trigger points - tiny knots within muscles that cause radiating pain when pressed. The chiropractor inserts thin, sterile acupuncture needles directly into trigger points to provoke a localized twitch response. This releases built up scar tissue and muscle tension, restoring normal function.

Dry needling provides rapid, precise relief by targeting the main source of muscular tightness and discomfort. It differs from acupuncture in that it focuses strictly on muscular issues rather than energy meridians. However, the needles used are the same.
