DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is the use of small needles which are inserted into the muscle or tendon. It is different from acupuncture in that it is specific to deactivate trigger points. It is also helpful for pain relief from osteoarthritis and fascial pain. Many of us develop these points over time (especially if you are active) and sometimes using a tennis ball or myofascial release tool is just not enough. Using the needles and e-stim can help to get deep into those tissues so that those points can finally "release."
