Dry Needling

Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based technique used by trained healthcare providers - including chiropractors - to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. The term “dry” simply means that nothing is injected; the therapy relies solely on the fine, sterile needle.

During treatment, the needle is inserted directly into a trigger point - a tight knot within a muscle that can cause pain locally or refer to other areas of the body. When the needle stimulates the trigger point, you may feel a brief muscle twitch. This response helps reset muscle function, improve blood flow, and decrease pain.

Dry needling is combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises to address both the symptom and the underlying cause of dysfunction.
