Dry needling is a treatment that we at Donay Chiropractic use for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points. With this technique, we insert thin needles into or near your trigger points. The needles stimulate your muscles, which causes them to contract or twitch. When dry needling is applied to an affected muscle or trigger point, it can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain. Patients often report immediate relief after treatment.
