Enhances the body’s natural healing processes

Dry Needling Sessions

During each session, our podiatrist will carefully insert fine needles into the identified trigger points. The needles are left in place for a short period to allow the muscles to relax and the body’s natural healing processes to take effect. Most sessions last between 30 minutes in conjunction other in clinic therapies such as with manual therapy, depending on the condition being treated.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points within muscles. This treatment helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern Western medicine and focuses on relieving musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction
