RELEASE TENSION, BOOST BLOOD FLOW, PROMOTE HEALING OF MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS

Dry needling involves the insertion of thin medical needles into targeted muscles to alleviate pain caused by myofascial trigger points.  It is a popular complementary therapy we employ at The Alignment Studio to help patients with pain and mobility management.

Typically performed alongside a hands-on remedial massage or physiotherapy treatment, dry needling sets off a chain of neurological events that result in an immediate decrease in muscle tension.  It is an effective treatment within the broader context of physical therapy.

Using ultra-fine, sterile needles, dry needling stimulates muscular and connective tissues and releases muscle trigger points.  It is not painful; however, you may experience an immediate ‘twitch’ response, followed by a dull ache that eases in a few minutes.

As your stubborn knots are released, pain and mobility are reduced.  By increasing blood flow to the problem area, toxic waste products begin to clear, and damaged tissues are better able to heal.  This method provides significant pain relief by targeting myofascial trigger points and stimulating endorphin release.
