What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique where fine, sterile needles are inserted into tight muscle bands or “trigger points.”
This helps release deep tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function.
It is especially effective for:
- Neck and shoulder tightness
- Lower back pain
- Sports injuries
- Muscle spasms
- Posture-related pain
- Joint stiffness caused by muscle tension
- Chronic myofascial pain
Unlike acupuncture, dry needling is based on Western medical science and muscle physiology.

Persistent muscle knots
Trigger point pain
Back or neck stiffness
Sports-related tightness or strain
Tight shoulders from office work
