Dry Needling Therapy
Fine needles target trigger points to release muscle tension and restore neuromuscular function - clinically distinct from acupuncture.
About This Treatment
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points - hyperirritable knots within muscle fibres causing local and referred pain. By inserting a fine needle directly into the trigger point, a local twitch response releases the tension and resets the neuromuscular pattern. It is anatomically based and clinically distinct from acupuncture.
