Dry Needling
Dry Needling enables the therapist to treat trigger points which are located deep down in the muscle or which are not easily accessed accurately. In dry needling treatment, a very thin acupuncture needle is inserted into the trigger point causing or supporting your complaint. By doing this, the muscle cramps and subsequently relaxes helping very tense muscles to relax and improve circulation of blood within the muscle. Dry Needling is an effective method and a valuable addition to myofascial trigger point therapy.
