how does dry needling help my pain?

Dry needling targets trigger points that disrupt muscle function and hinder range of motion, mobility, or cause tenderness and pain. These trigger points or “muscle knots” are uncomfortable and often disrupt your ability to move freely and perform at your best. 

It also can be extremely beneficial for muscle tendons and tendonitis flare ups. Dry needling therapy increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, decreases muscle tightness, and thus, helps to ease pain.
