What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a treatment that uses a thin, sterile needle to target tight muscles and trigger points. These areas can cause pain, restrict movement, and contribute to ongoing dysfunction.

By targeting these areas directly, dry needling can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function. It is commonly used alongside chiropractic care and rehabilitation.
