Dry Needling / Medical Acupuncture

---

Dry needling and medical acupuncture involve inserting very fine needles into targeted muscles or trigger points to encourage relaxation and reduce pain. By stimulating these sensitive spots, we can help release deep muscular tension that may be contributing to headaches, back pain, sciatica, or shoulder dysfunction.

The needles encourage a local twitch response within the muscle, followed by a flood of fresh, oxygenated blood into the area. This helps reduce inflammation, improve healing, and calm irritated nerves. Many patients find dry needling particularly effective for long-standing muscular knots that haven’t responded to stretching or massage alone.

This approach is safe, minimally uncomfortable, and often provides fast relief. It can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with manual techniques for a more comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific pain patterns.
