What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a technique used by trained healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists, to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. During a dry needling session, thin needles are inserted into trigger points or tight bands of muscle, resulting in a release of tension and an increase in blood flow to the affected area. This can help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.

How does Dry Needling Work?

When a needle is inserted into a trigger point, it can cause a twitch response in the muscle, signaling the brain to release tension and relax. This twitch response also helps break up adhesions and scar tissue, allowing for improved mobility and function. Additionally, dry needling can stimulate the body's natural healing process by increasing blood flow and promoting the release of endorphins, our body's natural painkillers.

What is Myofascial Release?

Myofascial release is a hands-on technique that focuses on releasing tension in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. By applying gentle pressure and stretching to the fascia, myofascial release can help restore mobility, improve posture, and alleviate pain. This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and repetitive strain injuries.

How does Myofascial Release Work?

During a myofascial release session, the therapist will locate areas of tightness or restriction in the fascia and apply sustained pressure to release adhesions and restore proper movement. This can help improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing. The goal of myofascial release is to restore balance and alignment to the body,providing relief from pain and improved function.

Combining Dry Needling and Myofascial Release

When used together, dry needling and myofascial release can amplify the benefits of each therapy and provide comprehensive relief for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. By addressing both the muscular and fascial components of pain and dysfunction, this dynamic duo can help patients achieve faster recovery times, improved function, and long-lasting results.
