Dry needling is a therapy that can help reduce pain, adhesions, spasms, cramps, and trigger points in muscles. In doing so, it can also decrease acidity in the muscle and affect surrounding or associated facia. It is especially effective for reducing tension along a whole muscle, sling, or fascial chain of muscle.
These fine needles help release tension and inflammation in the muscles they stimulate.
Dry needling is different from acupuncture but may happen to cover energy meridians in the process!
Dry needling allows for reduction of deeper trigger points and more trigger points simultaneously. As the needles prompt your body to calm the trigger points, they are stimulating your muscle tone, stretch, and function improve. By addressing multiple trigger points along a single muscle or chain of muscles, you can reduce trigger points, but also, improve fascial communication, movement pattering, and ease of movement (after the needles come out)
