Dry needling is a specialized treatment that helps treat muscle pain and soreness by placing small, thin, solid needles into the muscle tissue just below the skin. This helps to correct movement imbalances and relieve acute pain. The needle only remains in the superficial layer of skin for a short period of time – anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on different variables.   

This practice is also referred to as “needling,” since there is no medication being injected through the needle. 

Some benefits of dry needling:

• Can relieve pain, tightness, and discomfort within the body’s muscles, joints, and nerves. 
• Improve your ability to move and function more efficiently with greater range of motion
• Helps to reduce the severity of trigger points, especially in the neck/upper back, as this tends to be where most carry their stress
• Decrease inflammation and healing time after an injury, and allows athletes to get back in the game quicker
• Aids in chronic pain, making it more manageable, without the need for medication and injections
• Increase in circulation and healing tissues within the body
