What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique aimed at relieving muscle pain and tension. It involves the use of thin, solid needles inserted into trigger points—tight bands within muscles or tissues—to stimulate a healing response. This method helps to alleviate discomfort by releasing muscle knots and improving blood flow, which can enhance range of motion and decrease pain. People often wonder about the difference between dry needling and acupuncture. While both use similar tools, dry needling focuses on muscle tissue and pain relief, rather than the holistic approach seen in acupuncture. Many individuals seek dry needling to manage back pain, sports injuries, and neck stiffness, finding it a valuable part of their overall treatment plan.
