What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is an evidence-based treatment that involves inserting a fine, sterile filament needle into muscles, tendons, ligaments, or connective tissue to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore normal function.
The primary aim of dry needling is to elicit a local twitch response within the affected muscle. This response helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, reduce pain, and restore healthy movement patterns. Dry needling is highly effective in identifying and treating neuromuscular dysfunction that contributes to pain and movement limitations.
What Will I Experience During Treatment?
The needles used in dry needling are extremely thin, and many patients barely feel them entering the skin. When the needle reaches a tight or sensitive muscle, you may experience a brief twitch response.
This sensation is usually short-lived and is often followed by a feeling of muscle relaxation, reduced pain, and improved mobility. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and therapeutic.

What Are the Possible Side Effects?
Most people tolerate dry needling very well. Common side effects are generally mild and may include:

- Minor bruising at the needle site
- Mild fatigue following treatment
These effects typically resolve within 24–48 hours.
