01About the technique

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a treatment that addresses muscular pain and movement problems at their source. Our chiropractors use thin, sterile needles to reach the deeper layers of muscle and stimulate tight, painful areas.

By precisely targeting myofascial trigger points, the knotted spots that refer pain elsewhere, dry needling helps release tension, calm discomfort, and support your body’s natural healing. Patients often notice improved flexibility and range of motion after treatment.

It’s an effective, drug-free way to relieve both acute and chronic pain, improve circulation, and speed up recovery when it’s combined with the rest of your care plan.
