Dry Needling
Intramuscular stimulation for myofascial trigger point release and pain modulation.
Overview
Dry needling is a skilled intervention using thin filiform needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. Our certified practitioners use it as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Benefits
Our Process
Trigger Point Identification
Comprehensive palpation examination to locate active and latent trigger points, taut bands, and referred pain patterns.
Precision Needling
Sterile, single-use filiform needles inserted into trigger points with specific techniques (pistoning, winding, or static) to elicit local twitch response.
Immediate Re-Assessment
Post-needling evaluation of ROM, pain levels, muscle tone, and functional movement to confirm treatment effect.
Reinforcement with Exercise
Prescription of specific corrective exercises, stretches, and movement retraining to maintain gains and prevent recurrence.
