Dry Needling
Dry needling (DN) refers to the insertion of a single-use sterile monofilament needle (without the use of injectate) into/near target muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, scar tissue, peripheral nerves, and neurovascular bundles. This technique is used for the management of a variety of neuro- musculoskeletal pain syndromes through the activation of the body’s natural physiologic responses.

Dry needling has been shown to reduce pain by stimulating the peripheral and central nervous systems by altering information pathway coming to and from those areas.
The insertion of a monofilament needle into the target tissue also creates micro-traumas. This brings nutrient rich blood flow to the area and re-starts the body’s natural healing processes.
Often the needles are utilized with an electrical current, termed electro-dry needling (EDN), which has shown to produce profound effects of pain control in the short- and long-term timelines.
