Dry Needling Therapy
Dry needling is a skilled, evidence-based physical therapy technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle or “knots” that cause pain, limit motion, or refer discomfort to other areas of the body. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on modern Western medicine and neuromuscular science, and it’s performed by licensed healthcare professionals.
