Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique used to treat pain and muscle dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points within muscles to release tension, reduce pain, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, Dry Needling focuses on addressing musculoskeletal conditions rather than energy flow.
