Happy to post that I am now able to offer “dry needling” to my list of treatments.
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, solid needles into trigger points or tight bands within muscles to stimulate a healing response. The needles are inserted directly into the skin and muscle tissue without injecting any substance (hence "dry" needling). This practice aims to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain by triggering biochemical and neurological responses.
Dry needling offers several benefits, including:
1. **Pain Relief**: Reduces acute and chronic pain by targeting trigger points and muscle tension.
2. **Improved Muscle Function**: Enhances muscle activation, strength, and flexibility.
3. **Increased Range of Motion**: Alleviates tightness, allowing for greater mobility and flexibility.
4. **Enhanced Recovery**: Speeds up the healing process for injuries and muscle strains.
5. **Reduced Muscle Tension**: Relieves tightness and spasms in muscles.
6. **Improved Blood Flow**: Enhances circulation to the targeted areas, promoting healing.
7. **Complementary Therapy**: Works well alongside other treatments like physical therapy and exercise.
