Discover the Benefits of Dry Needling

What is Dry Needling?

Dry Needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points. Unlike Acupuncture, which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dry Needling focuses on relieving muscular pain and dysfunction by targeting these trigger points (muscle knots). This method effectively treats musculoskeletal issues, enhances recovery, and improves physical performance.
