Dry Needling

What is Dry Needling?

Though it uses similar tools as acupuncture, dry needling is rooted in western medicine. Dry needling techniques are guided by a physical exam of the neuromuscular skeletal system, including range of motion, palpation and orthopaedic tests. Dry needling treats trigger points in the muscles and deeper structures such as ligaments, joint capsules and nerves by increasing local blood flow and neuromodulating the nervous system. Dry needling improves range of motion and deacreases pain and dysfunction caused by ailments of the muscles, joints and nerves.
