Dry Needling

What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling (DN) involves inserting a tiny needle into an area of discomfort or tightness in order to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and improve your performance.

DN differs from acupuncture in that DN is based on modern medicine and research to implement the most effective strategies to each individual person. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is based on historical concepts that have been passed down throughout centuries, which includes human biases, thoughts, and opinions.

By utilizing modern medicine to best implement dry needling, we are not ‘guessing’ when the procedure is completed. The procedure has a purpose as well as research to back it up for its effectiveness.

How Does DN Work?

Localized Effect: By inserting a dry needle into a symptomatic location, it will improve flexibility, normalize inflammation, and replace irregular tissue with new, fresh tissue of the same type.

Widespread Effect: By inserting a dry needle into a symptomatic location, it will elicit improvement throughout the entire body. Everything in our body is connected in some way, and when there is discomfort or imbalance, it will cause stress on other parts of the body.
