What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling treats muscle tissue with a goal to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It can be used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as shoulder, neck, heel, hip and back pain.
Dry needling uses a very fine needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying muscular and connective tissue trigger points. Trigger points are tight bands of skeletal muscles, or “knots,” located within a larger muscle group, and can be tender to the touch. Dry needling can reduce muscle tension and spasms, reduce tissue adhesions, decrease inflammation and accelerate a patient’s return to active rehabilitation.
Dry Needling here at HHA is preformed by our Acupuncturist, Dr. Debbie Murdock, who is Dry Needling certified.
