How Does Dry Needling Relieve Pain?
So what is dry needling??
Dry needling involves the insertion of a monofilament needle into the body at very specific locations in order to promote blood flow and healing as well as reduce tissue tension.
Pain often comes from chronic inflammation in the body. This bad type of inflammation can result in a lack of appropriate blood flow to the tissues in our body, like muscles, in and around nerves, and joints. This feels like tension and tightness in the body.
While I do believe stretching, exercise and massage are all great options for pain relief, dry needling is without a doubt the quickest and most effective at immediately improving the quality of the tissues.
Within a day or two the small lesions induced by the needles will start to heal and fresh new blood flow will restore healthy tissues with the nutrients they need.
