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.
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.
