Trigger Point Dry Needling
How Dry Needling Works
Trigger Point Dry Needling involves inserting an extremely fine, solid filament needle directly into an active muscular trigger point. By mechanically disrupting the knot, the needle forces the contracted muscle fibers to "twitch" and immediately relax.
"Unlike acupuncture, which relies on traditional energy meridians, dry needling is strictly grounded in modern western neuroanatomy. It directly targets the mechanical source of muscle tension."

is It Painful?
The needle is as thin as a hair; insertion is rarely felt. You may experience a brief, reflex "twitch" response—this is highly therapeutic and signals that the tension has been extinguished.
Most patients experience immediate mechanical relief and a profound increase in range of motion right after the session.
Post-Treatment
You may feel typical muscle soreness (similar to an intense workout) for up to 24 hours as the muscle resets its neural firing patterns.
