Dry Needling is a treatment technique that uses acupuncture needles to treat myofascial trigger points. This for of deep tissue treatment can help relieve pain and tension caused from deep trigger points that cannot be reached using conventional Remedial Massage or Deep Tissue treatments.

When muscles are overused, they go into an energy crisis where the muscle fibers aren’t getting an adequate blood supply. When they don’t get the normal blood supply, they don’t get the oxygen and nutrients that allow your muscle recover. When this happens, the tissue near your trigger point becomes more acidic. 

With active trigger points, your nerves become sensitized, making the area sore and painful.  Stimulating a trigger point with a needle helps draw normal blood supply back to flush out the area to release tension. The prick sensation can also fire off nerve fibers that stimulate your brain to release endorphins , your body’s natural pain medication.
