How does Dry Needling work?

Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique that involves the precise insertion of thin needles into trigger points or areas of muscular tension. Dry needling creates microtrauma, stimulating blood flow and kick-starting the body's natural healing processes.

‍

The Three Key Phases:

‍Stimulation of Blood Flow

The needles initiate increased blood flow to the targeted area, aiding in the delivery of essential nutrients for tissue repair.

‍

Activation of the Body's Healing Response

Controlled microtrauma triggers an inflammatory response, prompting the body to dispatch healing cells and growth factors to accelerate tissue repair.

‍

Promotion of Tissue Regeneration

The process encourages the production of collagen, vital for tissue strength and elasticity. This facilitates the regeneration of healthy tissue, replacing damaged cells and restoring normal function.

Does Dry Needling Cause Discomfort?

While dry needling may induce some temporary discomfort, it can also provide a unique sensation of relief. During a session, multiple needles are inserted for a brief or extended period. Individuals may experience mild discomfort post dry needling. The intensity and duration of effects can vary depending on individual circumstances and specific conditions.
