Dry Needling
Myofascial dry needling is a technique used to support the release of tight muscles and improve how your body moves.
Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique and is often used alongside chiropractic care, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation exercises, depending on your individual needs.
Very fine, sterile needles are used to target specific areas within the muscle, often referred to as trigger points. These are small areas of tension that may feel sore locally or contribute to discomfort in other parts of the body.
