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, which is intended to stimulate blood flow and support the body’s natural healing processes.

‍

The Three Key Phases:

‍Stimulation of Blood Flow

The needles can increase blood flow to the targeted area, which may help deliver nutrients needed for tissue repair.

‍

Activation of the Body's Healing Response

Controlled microtrauma can trigger a mild inflammatory response, which may help bring healing cells and growth factors to the area.

‍

Promotion of Tissue Regeneration

The process encourages the production of collagen, vital for tissue strength and elasticity. This process is intended to support the repair of healthy tissue over time .

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.
