Dry Needling
Fine filament needles into myofascial trigger points to ease muscular tension and pain.
Dry needling is a manual technique that uses fine filament needles placed into myofascial trigger points, the tight, tender bands within a muscle. It has a Western-medicine basis and is distinct from acupuncture.
It is used as part of a wider treatment plan, alongside hands-on therapy and exercise, to help release muscular tension and support movement.
Commonly used to help with
- Muscular tension and trigger points
- Overuse-related muscle pain
- Restricted movement from tight muscles
