Dry needling is an effective technique used to treat neuromuscular dysfunction that is causing pain, loss of motion or weakness. The technique uses a small, thin filament needle inserted through the skin into taut bands or trigger points in the muscle.

The goal is to relieve pain locally or referred into another area, and/or to improve range of motion or stability. Dry needling is one technique that compliments a larger, comprehensive treatment plan. Patients who receive treatment often report immediate pain relief and/or see an improvement in their mobility or stability.

Here are some of the many ways dry needling can help you:

• Relieve pain (chronic and acute)
• Improve range and ease of motion.
• Improve muscle stability or strength.
• Reduce muscle tension.
• Relieve headaches.
• Increase active injury rehabilitation.
• Improve tissue quality.
• Decrease reliance on pain killers.
