DRY NEEDLING
A powerful technique to release tight muscles, relieve pain, and speed up healing
Dry Needling is a highly effective therapy that uses fine needles to target muscle trigger points, providing relief from pain, tension, and stiffness. Unlike acupuncture, which focuses on energy pathways, dry needling focuses directly on the musculoskeletal system, specifically the tight, knotted areas of muscle tissue.
