What is Dry Needling?

During a dry needling session, thin needles are inserted into specific areas of tight and dysfunctional muscle tissue known as trigger points. These trigger points can develop due to various reasons like injury, overuse, or poor movement habits. By targeting these trigger points, dry needling aims to alleviate muscle tightness, improve blood circulation, and lessen pain. Many patients experience immediate relief following the treatment. The duration for which the needles are left in the muscle typically ranges from 10 seconds to 20 minutes, depending on factors such as the treatment area, the number of needles used, and the desired treatment outcomes.
