Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment technique which is similar to acupuncture. However dry needling consists of the insertion of a fine needle into a particular area of spasm; the needle is directly inserted into a muscle belly, tendon or ligament where spasm is occurring. The insertion of a needle into these particular tissues causes inflammation. When an area becomes inflamed blood flow to this particular area increases. Blood carries nutrients to the damaged area and removes dead cells and tissues. As a result the process of healing is promoted as well as muscle relaxation. Dry needling can be used to treat spasm in muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as acute / chronic injuries and sports injuries.
