๐ฌ What is Dry Needling & How Can It Help You? ๐ฌ
Do you suffer from chronic muscle tightness, pain, or restricted movement? If so, dry needling might be the solution youโve been looking for! ๐ฆต๐โโ๏ธ
๐น How Does Dry Needling Work?
Dry needling is a scientifically backed technique that targets myofascial trigger points (muscle knots)โsmall, hyper-irritable spots in your muscles that cause pain, tightness, and movement restrictions.
Using a thin, sterile needle, we stimulate these trigger points, which causes:
โ Neuromuscular Reprogramming โ Helps your nervous system reset and relax tight muscles.
โ Increased Blood Flow โ Promotes oxygen and nutrient delivery to speed up healing.
โ Pain Modulation โ Triggers your bodyโs natural pain-relief response by affecting neurotransmitters like endorphins and serotonin.
โ Tissue Healing & Repair โ Stimulates the body's inflammatory response to break down adhesions and encourage proper muscle function.
๐น What Conditions Does Dry Needling Help?
โ
Muscle tightness & stiffness (from stress, poor posture, or overuse)
โ
Chronic pain conditions (e.g., myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia)
โ
Tendonitis & sports injuries (tennis elbow, shin splints, etc.)
โ
Neck, back, & shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries, tension headaches)
โ
Sciatica & nerve-related discomfort
๐น What to Expect in a Session?
The needle may cause a twitch response, which is a sign that the muscle is releasing tension.
Some mild post-treatment soreness (like after a workout) is normal and a sign of healing.
Most people feel relief within 24-48 hours as the muscle function improves.
๐น Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture โ Whatโs the Difference?
Though both use fine needles, the science behind them is different:
๐ฉบ Dry Needling: Targets muscles and nervous system to relieve pain and restore movement (based on Western medicine).
๐ฟ Acupuncture: Focuses on Qi (energy flow) and meridian points to restore balance (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
