What is dry needling?
Contrary to popular belief, dry needling is not acupuncture. While the two therapies share some similarities, dry needling is based on western medical and research approaches.
This treatment merely creates an environment that promotes the body’s ability to heal while also relieving pain. A sterilized needle is inserted between the skin and the tendons, ligaments, or muscles to relieve pain, reduce muscular tension, and increase movement.
